Strawberry Pie
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Dr. Price's Baking Powder
1/4 cup cold water
4 tablespoons shortening
1 quart strawberries
Sift dry ingredients together; rub in shortening very lightly with
finger tips; add water slowly, just enough to make a stiff dough. Roll
out on floured board and use for bottom crust of pie, being careful to
fold the paste well over the edge of pie plate. Bake in hot oven 12 to
15 minutes.
If glazed crust is desired, brush edges after baking with boiling hot
syrup (2 tablespoons syrup and one tablespoon water) and return to
oven for one or two minutes until syrup hardens. Fill the baked crust
with fresh selected hulled strawberries and cover with syrup made as
follows:
Add 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup strawberries to 2 cups boiling water;
bring to a boil and strain; add one tablespoon cornstarch which has
been mixed with little cold water. Cook over hot fire for a minute or
two, stirring constantly; remove from fire and beat hard; return to
slow fire, cook very gently until thick. Pour while hot over
strawberries. Serve either hot or cold.
