Nothing quite comforts like a rustic baked pie on a cold and dreary winter day. Something magical seems to happen to the dusted strawberries and butter in this pie when it hits the oven. The strawberries melt into delicious bites of tender juiciness and the most beautiful oozy strawberry sauce is created.
My buttery and crumbly gluten free shortcrust pastry perfectly mops up the warm sweet strawberry juices in this pie. Serve with lashings of cream for extra naughtiness!
