• ⅛ tsp sugar
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 23¾ g butter (cold)

• stand mixer with whisk

Combine part of the flour, some sugar, and the salt in the stand mixer. Dice part of the cold butter, add to the flour mixture, and whisk until small, pea-sized crumbs form.

Step 2/6

• 15⅝ ml water (cold)

Add the water and mix until smooth. Divide the dough and form two flat discs. Cover in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for approx. 60 min.

Grease the pie plate with butter and preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F. Halve the strawberries. Combine the strawberries, the remaining flour, gelling sugar, cinnamon, and orange peel.

Step 4/6

• 3¾ g butter (cold)

Roll out the first half of the dough, and place in the pie plate, leaving a 1.5-cm/0.5-in. rim. Add the strawberry mixture. Chop the remaining butter and distribute across the strawberries.

Step 5/6
