16. Strawberry Pie

When Journie finds something she likes then she WILL eat it until she gets sick of it and hopefully she'll find something else before then. Right now strawberries are the go- to food and luckily there in season- strawberry shakes, strawberries for breakfast, lunch and dinner and strawberry dessert!
This recipe was taken from Guilty Kitchen and although I love her cooking the recipe for this crust was not my favorite so instead I thought I would share the best pie crust recipe ever - not only for desserts but a wonderful rosemary infused crust would taste delicious for a pot pie or quiche!





CRUST: (The above crust is how not to make it...note to self - follow gut instinct and never use crisco in your pie crust recipe. Below recipe is flawless.)

8oz Cold butter, cut into small pieces
12 oz all purpose or pastry flour
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup buttermilk

1. Cut into small pieces and chill butter in freezer
2. Mix dry ingredients and mix in cold butter
3.Dump dry mixture and butter onto work station and roll butter with rolling pin until it becomes flakey
4. Put ingredients back into bowl and refrigerate for 15min.
5. Take out of fridge pour in buttermilk and smush it all together until you are able to form and divide dough.
6 Refrigerate dough for an hour.
7. make your pie!




Top with ice cream and enjoy!
