- 1 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups cold unsalted butter cubed
- 0.25 cups cold vegetable shortening
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cups ice water
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Make the pie crust: Whisk together flour and salt. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until dough just comes together.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the filling: Combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a bowl.
- Roll out the dough and cut out circles. Fill each circle with strawberry filling and fold over to form a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges to seal.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
