List of Ingredients




Shortcrust dough:
5 oz margarine or butter
good 3/4 cup powdered sugar
dash salt
1 egg
1 3/4 cups flour

Vanilla filling:
1 3/4 cups single cream
2 eggs
scant 1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tbs potato starch or cornstarch
2 tbs vanilla sugar

Decoration:
good 3/4 cup heavy cream
approx 4 cups fresh strawberries



Recipe



Quickly chop together all ingredients for the shortcrust dough and press out
2/3 of it in a pie pan, diameter approx 9". It can very well have a loose
bottom. Put the dish plus the remaining 1/3 of the dough in the fridge for
about 30 minutes.

Vanilla filling: Measure all ingredients except for the vanilla sugar in a
saucepan and simmer while stirring until it thickens. Immediately remove
from heat and set aside to cool. After cooling, you flavor with the vanilla
sugar.

Heat the oven to 400F.

Spread out the vanilla creme in an even layer in the pie crust and roll out
the remaining dough to a lid, fitting over the creme so that it's covered.
Pinch together at the edges and prick here and there with a fork.

Bake the pie in the lower part of the oven for about 30 minutes, then let
cool completely in the dish. Beat the cream and pipe or dab it out in a nice
pattern around the edge of the pie, then decorate with oodles of fresh
strawberries. Enjoy!
