Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 ¼ Cups [250g] All Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Caster Sugar
- ¾ tsp Salt
- 1/2 Cup [100g] Unsalted Butter [Cold & Cubed]

For the Filling
- 2 Cups Strawberries [Hulled and Sliced]
- 1/2 Cup Strawberry Jam
- 2 tbsp Sugar Divided to sprinkle some on top before baking.
- 1 tbsp Arrow Root Starch or Corn starch
Instructions
- In a large bowl add all the ingredients for the strawberry filling, mix and keep it aside.
- In a mixing bowl add the flour, salt and sugar.
- Add the cold butter and using a pastry cutter or your fingers rub the butter to the salt until the mixture looks crumbly but you still see pieces of the butter.
- Add cold a teaspoon by teaspoon as needed and bring the dough together. DO NOT overwork.
- Make the dough into a disc and wrap it in a baking sheet. Chill in freezer for 5 minutes.
- Roll the chilled pastry dough into about 10 inches circle or square or any full shape.
- Add the filling to the rolled dough, leaving a 2 cm margin all around.
- Fold in carefully so the crust formed. Chill the dough and the filling together in the fridge while the oven is preheated at 190 degrees Celsius.
- Bake at 190 degrees Celsius for 35 to 45 minutes.
- Serve warm or cold with cream.
- Enjoy
Notes
- Replace strawberries with any fruit of choice.
- Add more starch in the filling if you would like a thicker filling. This filling will thicken in fridge as it is. So carefully add more.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream, whichever you have in hand.
