Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (chopped)
  • ½ cup chilled butter (cut into pieces)
  • 1-3 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 cups strawberries (unthawed if frozen)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3-6 tablespoons lemon curd

Instruction

  • Whisk together flour, salt and thyme. Add butter and mix with your fingertips, a pastry cutter or in a food processor just until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add enough ice water to bring the dough together
  • Form into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap or a tea towel and refrigerate for at least half an hour
  • Combine strawberries with sugar, flour and lemon juice. Set aside
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry ball into a 9″ circle then transfer the crust to a baking sheet. Spread lemon curd leaving 1″ around the edge. Arrange strawberries over the top. Fold up edges of pastry to keep in the strawberries.
  • Bake on an un-greased, preferably edgeless baking sheet, at a 400F for 25 minutes, or till the edges are light brown, and the center is bubbling. Remove from oven and try not to dig in for at least 15 minutes
