Ingredients

For the crust & topping:
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup salted butter (cold)
For the strawberry filling:
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries diced up
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Prepare a 8x8 inch baking dish by lining it with foil or parchment paper allowing the edges to overhang the pan for easy removal. Then, spray the lining with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, add the ½ cup sugar, flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined.
  3. Then, add the egg and vanilla. Mix well.
  4. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it is crumbly.
  5. Take half of the flour mixture and pack it down in the bottom of your pan. Reserve the remaining crumbs for the topping.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries, 1/3 cup sugar and cornstarch. Mix until the strawberries are coated well.
  7. Spread the sweet strawberry filling over the bottom layer in the pan and spread out evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the rest of the flour mixture evenly over the top of your strawberries.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool completely before cutting with a sharp knife.
  10. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
