Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the pie crust by whisking together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the chilled butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Form the dough by adding ice water and mixing until it holds together. Divide into discs and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) after the dough has chilled.
  4. Make the filling by combining strawberries, sugar, corn starch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  5. Roll out one dough disc and place it in a pie pan, letting the excess hang over.
  6. Fill the crust with the strawberry mixture and dot with unsalted butter.
  7. Cover with the second rolled dough, trim excess, and crimp the edges.
  8. Vent the top crust with slits and brush with egg wash, optionally sprinkling with turbinado sugar.
  9. Bake the pie on a baking sheet for 45-55 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
