Deep-Dish Strawberry Pie
From: Southern Living Magazine, June, 1973

1 cup sugar, granulated
1/4 cup flour, all-purpose
1/8 tsp salt
4 cups strawberries; washed, hulled
2 tbsp butter, unsalted
1 pie crust, single
cream; plain or whipped

Combine sugar with flour and salt. Toss lightly with the berries. Fill a 1-quart baking dish with the fruit mixture and dot with butter. Top with the pastry which has been rolled out on pastry cloth to size 1" larger all around than top of baking dish. Fold edges of pastry under and press firmly to rim of dish. Flute edges and cut gashes in pastry to allow steam to escape. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes or until crust is browned. Serve slightly warm with plain or whipped cream.
