I made my own pie crust, of course, and doubled the recipe so that I could make the lattice crust which I fell in love with doing back at Thanksgiving. For the record - since this recipe, I also made another pie dough and this is my far the best tasting and the easiest recipe, so this will be my go-to pie dough.
What is beautiful about this pie - besides my awesome lattice crust - is the simplicity of it. Here is what goes in the pie: strawberries, sugar, and flour. That's it. Nothing weird or extra or unnecessary: you are just letting the strawberries be the star of this pie. That makes it easy, fast, and really, really good.

Here is the bad news: Mom and I were the only ones to eat this pie, and unfortunately I threw out more than half of it. It was a sad waste and I am still mourning it, to be honest. What kind of a house do I live in where I throw out three quarters of a delicious pie!?! So come visit me more often.
Recipe:
strawberry pie
from The Southern Lady Cooks
Ingredients:
2 pie crusts, 1 for cross pieces and one for the bottom
1 lb. of fresh strawberries, capped and cut into pieces.
3/4 cup sugar
5 or 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions:
1) Put one pie crust into pie plate (mine was 9 inches).
2) In a bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, and flour. Mix well with spoon. Put the strawberries into the crust.
3) Cut the top pie dough into strips and weave it for a lattice top - or you could cover the pie completely with another crust and cut some small slits in top to let out steam. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes until crust is brown. Let cool before cutting. You can serve it with ice cream :)
