• From: Florida Strawberry Growers Association

Ingredients

• 1 Tbs butter

• 1/2 15 oz package refrigerated pie dough

• 3 cups strawberries, washed, dried, caps removed, and sliced into quarters

• 1/3 cup sugar

• 1 Tbs cornstarch

• 1 tsp ice water

• 1 tsp granulated sugar

• 1/4 tsp vanilla

A sweet and easy addition to brunch.

Directions

• Prepare the bottom and sides of a 10-inch, cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
• Arrange one of the uncooked crusts in the skillet (it’s not necessary to roll out the dough).
• Place cut strawberries in a medium bowl; add sugar and cornstarch and toss gently. Set aside for about 20 minutes.
• Pour strawberry mixture into center of skillet and fold the edges of the dough toward the center, leaving a 2-inch border so the strawberries are visible in the center. The dough will only partially cover the strawberry mixture.
• Brush edge of dough with 1 teaspoon water and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar.
• Bake at 375°F for about 35 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Whip cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and continue beating for about 20 seconds. Stir in vanilla.
• When tart has cooled slightly spoon onto individual serving dishes; serve with whipped cream.
