Preparing the Dough for the Pie Crust
Making a pie crust from scratch requires a few steps to ensure the dough is prepared properly. The first step is to gather all of the ingredients. This includes all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, butter or shortening, and cold water. It is important to use cold water as it helps to keep the dough from becoming too sticky. The next step is to mix all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. This helps to ensure that everything is evenly distributed before adding in any butter or shortening. Once everything is mixed together, it’s time to add either butter or shortening into the dry ingredients. This can be done by using two forks or a pastry blender until everything is crumbly and well distributed.
Next, it’s time to add in the cold water. Slowly pour in small amounts of cold water while stirring with a fork until everything starts to come together and form a ball of dough. It’s important not to add too much water as this will cause the dough to become too sticky and difficult to work with. Once all of the ingredients are mixed together, it’s time to roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin. Roll out the dough until it is about 1/8 of an inch thick and slightly larger than your pie dish or pan. Finally, place your rolled out pie crust into your dish or pan and trim off any excess crust around the edges before baking according to your recipe instructions.
By following these steps, you can easily make your own homemade pie crust from scratch with ease!
Making the Filling for the Strawberry Pie
Making a delicious strawberry pie starts with a delicious filling. This recipe is easy to make and will provide a tasty result.
The ingredients you will need are fresh strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Start by hulling and slicing the strawberries and then combine them with sugar in a bowl. Mix them together until the sugar is fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cornstarch and lemon juice until they are completely blended. Then add this mixture to the bowl of strawberries and sugar. Stir everything together until it is well blended.
Now it’s time to place the filling in your pie crust. Put it in an even layer before adding any topping of your choice such as whipped cream or meringue. Bake the pie according to your recipe’s instructions or until golden brown on top.
Once your strawberry pie has cooled off, slice it up into individual servings and enjoy! This recipe makes enough filling for one 9-inch pie or two 8-inch pies so you can double or triple it if needed for larger pies or other recipes.
Adding Glaze to the Strawberry Pie
Adding a glaze to a strawberry pie is an easy and delicious way to add some extra flavor and sweetness. It also gives the pie a shiny, glossy finish. The most common glaze used for strawberry pies is an apricot glaze, which is made from apricot preserves or jam that has been blended with some water. To make the glaze, simply mix together one cup of apricot preserves or jam with two tablespoons of water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a low simmer over medium heat and stir until it becomes thick and syrupy. Let it cool for a few minutes before brushing it over the top of your strawberry pie.
Once your glaze is ready, let your pie cool completely before you apply it. Brush the glaze over the top of your pie in even strokes, starting in the middle and working outward towards the edges. Allow the glaze to set for at least an hour before serving so that it can create a nice glossy finish. Enjoy your sweet and delicious strawberry pie with its delicious apricot glaze!
Baking the Strawberry Pie with Glaze
Baking a delicious strawberry pie with glaze is a treat that everyone can enjoy. The tartness of the strawberries pairs nicely with the sweetness of the glaze to make a delectable dessert. Making a strawberry pie with glaze is not difficult, but there are some important steps to follow to ensure it turns out perfectly.
To start, prepare your favorite pastry crust and place it in a greased pie pan. If you don’t have time to make your own crust, store-bought will work just fine. Next, wash and hull two pints of fresh strawberries and pat them dry. Slice the berries and arrange them in an even layer in the pie crust.
In a medium bowl, mix together one cup of granulated sugar, one teaspoon of cornstarch and one-quarter teaspoon of ground cinnamon until well blended. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the berries in the crust. Place four tablespoons of butter on top of the sugar mixture, distributing evenly over the top layer.
Cover with another pastry crust and seal edges together by pressing down with a fork or crimping with your fingers. Cut slits in top layer for steam to escape during baking. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly throughout.
Once finished baking, prepare glaze by combining one cup powdered sugar and two tablespoons milk in a small bowl until smooth consistency is achieved. Brush glaze on top layer while still warm after you remove from oven and allow to cool before serving for best results. Enjoy this strawberry pie warm or cold with friends or family for a sweet treat!
Cooling and Storing the Strawberry Pie with Glaze
Once the strawberry pie with glaze has been baked, it is important to cool and store it properly. The best way to cool a pie is to allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once the pie has cooled, it can be stored in the refrigerator. Wrapping the pie in aluminum foil or plastic wrap will help keep it fresh. For optimal storage, it is best to place the pie on a plate or in an airtight container before refrigerating. If storing for more than two days, it is best to freeze the pie instead.
When freezing, wrap the entire pie tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing in an airtight container or freezer bag. Place this in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then warm in a 300-degree oven for 10-15 minutes before serving. It is important to follow these steps carefully so that your strawberry pie with glaze will remain as delicious as when it was first made!
