Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water and mix until combined. Add an additional 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough starts to form large clumps and is both slightly sticky and dry. I used 6 tablespoons (be careful not to add more than you need). On a lightly floured surface, press the dough together until a ball forms. Flatten the dough into a disk shape and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 40 minutes. Once chilled, roll out the dough on a floured surface using a rolling pin, turning the dough slightly each time until a circle forms. We want a 12 to 13 inch circle diameter. Place the dough into a 9-inch pie pan and fold the extra pie dough underneath itself along the edges of the pan. Use your fingers to crimp the pie crust or use a fork. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Pie Crust: The pie crust needs to blind bake first before adding the strawberry filling. Follow each step in the recipe card to properly make and bake my homemade pie crust recipe. If desired, you could also buy a premade pie shell from the store.
Strawberries: In total you'll need about 2 pounds of fresh strawberries in order to make the glaze and filling.
Pie Weights: I recommend using pie weights when blind baking the crust because it helps to eliminate air pockets from forming and the crust puffing up. It also helps the crust to keep it's shape and limits shrinking. If you don't have pie weights you could also use dry beans or rice.
Whipped Cream: Whisk together 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract using your electric stand mixer on high speed for 3-4 minutes.
