Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Mix the flour, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and unsalted butter to make the dough.
Gradually add the canola oil and cold water until the dough is smooth and cohesive.
Step 2: Incorporate the Egg Yolks
Whisk in the egg yolks one at a time.
Continue to knead the dough until it becomes firm again.
Step 3: Chill the Dough
Chill the dough in the fridge before kneading and spreading it out.
Step 4: Prepare for Rolling
Let the dough cool slightly after removing it from the fridge.
Step 5: Roll Out the Dough
Roll out the pie dough onto a baking sheet, ensuring it’s about 10 inches in diameter.
Trim any excess dough, wrap it in plastic, and return it to the fridge to chill for another five minutes.
Step 6: Prepare the Filling
In a separate bowl, mix together the cornstarch, sugar, halved strawberries, and a pinch of salt.
Step 7: Assemble the Pie
Arrange the strawberry mixture on the pie crust, leaving some strawberries for garnish.
Step 8: Bake the Pie
Bake the strawberry pie at 450°F for about 30 minutes.
Step 9: Finishing Touches
Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle it with a little sugar.
Use a fork or knife to poke four holes in the pie to allow steam to escape and prevent it from burning.
Enjoy your delicious Big Boy’s Strawberry Pie!
