Strawberry Pot Pie
- 3/4 cup pastry flour, whole wheat white or regular
- 1 1/4 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter, unsalted cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons water iced, or 1 to 2 tablespoons more as needed
- 2 pounds strawberries hulled, fresh or frozen, 6 cups hulled, or mixed berries
- 6 tablespoons sugar or to taste
- 3 tablespoons flour, all-purpose or whole wheat pastry
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- For the topping:
- Mix together flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse to well blend.
- Blend in cubes of butter one at a time, pulsing after each addition, until the mixture forms a coarse meal.
- Blend in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the mixture begins to form a ball.
- Take the dough out of the processor, and transfer onto a piece of plastic wrap, shape into a square or round disk (depending on the shape of the casserole dish you are using).
- Wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or a few hours.
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- For the filling:
- Add berries, sugar, flour and cinnamon in a large bowl, and toss until well coated and mixed.

- Place the berry mixture into an 8- or 9-inch glass baking dish.
- Roll out the cold dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin until its about the size of your baking dish.
- Carefully place the dough on top of the fruit and cover it.
- Tuck any overhanging dough into the edges of the dish.
- With a paring knife make about 10 small slits in the dough to reals the steam during the baking.
- Put the baking dish on a baking sheet to catch the drips if desired.
- Bake for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and, with the tip of a knife, cut the crust into 2-inch squares.
- With a spoon press the squares of crust into the fruit until theyre about halfway submerged.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 F, bring the casserole back to the oven, and bake until browned and bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
- Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
