Open Strawberry Pie
Serve an open strawberry pie on the table - and the house will immediately smell of happiness! Agree: this bright fragrant berry is associated with joy, pleasure, enjoyment. But it's not just the smell, of course. Strawberries have an unusually bright appearance, so food photographers often use the berry to decorate the frame. Thanks to her, even not the most expressive dessert looks very appetizing! Our open strawberry pie does not need additional decor: it is very homely, sincere and, of course, beautiful in itself.

Cooking
Step 1
Line a 22cm round strawberry tart tin with good quality baking paper. You can lightly grease with butter or vegetable oil.
Step 2
Prepare the dough for the open pie. In a bowl, mix sugar, sifted flour, baking powder and salt. Grate very cold butter into the resulting flour mixture on a coarse grater and rub quickly with your fingers until crumbs are obtained.
Step 3
Separately, in a small bowl, lightly beat the egg with vanilla extract and pour into the flour crumbs. Stir quickly. Wrap a quarter of the dough in cling film and refrigerate. Pour the rest into an open pie dish.
Step 4
For the filling of the open pie, sort the strawberries and put them in a colander. Rinse under running water and dry well on a paper towel. Clean and cut into small cubes.
Step 5
Mix prepared strawberries with sugar and corn starch. Distribute the filling over the dough in the form. Spread the rest over the filling in small portions.
Step 6
Heat the oven to 175°C. Bake the open strawberry pie for 45 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely in the pan, then transfer to a plate and serve.
