The meeting of fresh strawberries and buttery pastry is summer itself. The biggest challenge with this recipe is that strawberries release a lot of juice during baking, which can make the pastry soggy. That's why we use cornstarch, which turns the released fruit juice into a thick, glossy jelly.

Instructions

1 ✓

Make the pastry: rub the cold butter into the flour, icing sugar, and salt, then knead with the egg yolk and water. Rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Tip: The rubbing-in technique ensures the butter doesn't fully melt into the flour, keeping it short.
2 ✓

Mix the strawberries with the sugars, cornflour, and lemon juice.

Tip: Under heat, the cornflour swells and absorbs the liquid, gelling the filling [Gelatinisation].
3 ✓

Line the dish with the pastry, fill with strawberries, and create a lattice on top with the remaining pastry.

Tip: Latticing is not just decoration; it allows steam to escape so the bottom pastry doesn't get soggy.
4 ✓

Brush the lattice with egg and bake at 180°C for approx. 40 minutes.

Tip: If the top browns too much, cover with foil, but the bottom needs to bake through.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the filling leak out?
The strawberries might have been too juicy, and there wasn't enough cornstarch. Let it cool completely before cutting so the jelly sets.
