Strawberry Pie/Tart
Strawberry pie
Ingredients:
prebaked shortcrust pie case (in the bakery section of the supermarket)
1 punnet strawberries (ripe ones)
1/2 cup sugar (more if you think the strawberries are not as ripe as they should be).
spoon cornflour dissolved in about 1/2 cup water.
Method:
cut half the strawberries into halves, wash and arrange in the pie case
cut the other half of the strawberries into small pieces, wash and place in a small saucepan with the sugar
heat over medium heat stirring until it resembles jam and the strawberries are soft and breakup if you squish them against the side of the saucepan with a spoon.
add in the cornflour dissolved in the water and stir until it thickens
pour over strawberries in the pie case, bake in a 180C oven for about 20-30 mins – (put a tray underneath as it does bubble and may spill over the sides)
Let the pie cool on the bench, then put it in the fridge to set for a couple of hours
(also nice warm).
