Grandmother s Strawberry Pie 26

Grandmother's Strawberry Pie.

Make a good short dough, a little "shorter" than biscuit dough, and as soft as it is possible to handle it. Press out to about 1/2 inch thick, put in a deep square pie or cake pan, allowing the edge to come up good and high. Crowd in a lot of choice, ripe strawberries, sprinkle (plentifully with sugar and dot lightly with butter. Then put on a thinner upper crust, well pricked, and pinch the edges together. Bake, and when done heap on whipped and sweetened cream, and dot with strawberries.
