Strawberry Pandowdy Recipes

MIXED FRUIT PANDOWDY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the apples, pears, nectarines, plums, strawberries, and blackberries with the lemon juice and cornstarch and toss to combine. Add 1/2 cup sugar, cloves, nutmeg, and salt and stir well. Butter a deep pie dish or a 9 by 12-inch baking dish with 1/2 tablespoon of the butter. Transfer the fruit mixture to the buttered dish, and dot the top of the fruit mixture with the remaining tablespoon of butter.
• Bake the fruit, uncovered, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

STRAWBERRY PANDOWDY

Steps:

• For the dough: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, ginger and salt. Add the shortening in spoonfuls, then the butter, and pulse 12 to 15 times to combine. Add the ice water through the top and blend until the dough forms a loose ball, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment or plastic wrap and sandwich it with another piece on top. Flatten the dough to a 6-inch disc and refrigerate for 20 minutes and up to 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• On a flat surface, spread a thin layer of flour and roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a knife to cut the dough into rectangles about 1 inch long and 3/4 inch wide. Ideally, you want between 25 and 30 rectangles (you can also cut small rounds, squares or any other shape). Transfer the dough pieces to the lined sheet tray. Brush the dough with the egg wash and par-bake the dough until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• For the filling: In a 10-inch heavy-bottomed saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, remove the pan from the heat and add half the strawberries. Return the pan to the heat and cook over high heat to allow some of the water to escape, for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the berries to a large bowl and return the pan to the heat. Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil and add the rest of the strawberries. Cook in the same manner for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the other cooked strawberries.
• In the pan, whisk together the jam, sugar, honey and molasses and simmer over medium-high heat so all the ingredients meld together, 2 to 3 minutes. Squeeze the lemon juice into a small bowl and add the zest, then whisk in the cornstarch until smooth. Stir the slurry into the jam mixture and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently, stirring frequently, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour over the berries in the bowl and stir to coat.
• Transfer the berry mixture back to the pan. Arrange the pie dough rectangles directly on top of the filling in a circular pattern, each overlapping slightly, like shingles on a house. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake until the pie crust shingles are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. (If the pie shingles sink slightly, that's OK.) Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar if desired and serve.

STRAWBERRY PANDOWDY

Steps:

• Make the dough like pie crust (cut butter into dry, add wet to bring together). Chill for at least 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 400
• Mix together sugar, tapioca, and salt. In a 10-inch oven proof skillet toss strawberries with sugar mixture.
• Roll dough to cover fruit, brush with egg white and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Cut several small vent holes in the crust.
• Bake for about 30 min. Remove from oven, use sharp knife to break crust into large pieces. Return to over and bake about another 20 min, until crust is golden brown.
• Whisk egg yolk, vanilla, and cream. Remove pandowdy from oven and let cool ~2 min. Pour cream mixture over. Return to oven and bake until cream is just set 8-10 minutes.
