  • 1 cup flour

  • 1/3 cup chilled butter, cubed
  • 2-3 Tbsp ice water
  • 2 cups strawberries, chopped into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Pound Cake
  • 1 1/4 sticks butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Strawberry Pie
Crust
  1. Mix flour and salt together, then add in the cubed butter gradually 'til the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  2. Next, add a ice water a little bit at a time until the dough is moist and able to be shaped into a ball. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Once the dough is ready to be worked with, roll it out 'til it's about 1/8 inch thick and with a small circular biscuit cutter, cut circles out of the dough.
  4. Place dough in a mini muffin tin. Use a fork to poke holes in each crust.
  5. Bake for 6-8 minutes in a 400 degree oven or until lightly golden.
Filling
  1. Bring cornstarch, water, and sugar to a boil and then continue stirring until the mixture has thickened (about a minute more after it has started boiling).
  2. Next, take it off the heat, and add in the gelatin and stir.
  3.  Place strawberries into each mini crust. Then spoon the gelatin mix over the strawberries. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes so that the pie will set up.
Pound Cake
  1. Cream butter and sugar together. Add the eggs one at a time. Lastly add in the vanilla.
  2. Mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Alternately mix flour and milk into the sugar mixture starting and ending with flour.
  3. Preheat oven to 325.
  4. Spoon a little bit of batter into the bottom of a regular sized muffin tin. Place the mini pie in the center, then spoon batter directly over it so that the pie is covered and no longer visible.
  5. Cook in oven for 30-40 minutes. Keep your eye on the cakes because it is a slow bake, but cake is temperamental and can brown very quickly!
  6. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
