Fresh Strawberry Pie

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 ½ c. flour
• 1 t. salt
• ¼ c. unsalted butter

  chilled
• ⅔ c. shortening

  chilled (You get the flakiness from the shortening and the great taste from the butter)
• 5 to 6 T. ice water
• 3 pints strawberries
• ⅔ c. sugar
• 4 T. cornstarch
• 1 T. lemon juice
• 1 T. butter

Instructions

• 1 Combined flour and salt in a bowl. Cut butter into small cubes. Cut butter and
  shortening into flour mixture until it resembles very coarse meal. Gradually add
  water 1 Tablespoon at a time mixing with a fork. Divide in half, form into two
  round disks, and wrap in plastic. Chill for 30 minutes. Bake unfilled pie crust
  15 – 20 min. at 450º.
• 2 Crush 1 pint of berries, add enough water to make 2 cups. Combined sugar and
  cornstarch, then add to strawberries. Cook in a saucepan over medium heat until
  thickened. Add lemon juice and butter. Cool. Add remaining pints of strawberries
  to sauce and place in a baked pie shell (you can leave the strawberries whole,
  but I prefer them chopped into bite-size pieces). Serve with whipped cream
