Here is how to make a delicious Special Crust recipe that is used with Strawberry pie as a crust. It is a gorgeous-looking pie, and it tastes even better than it looks!
In a medium to large mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup flour and 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar. Add 1 stick softened butter, and mash with a fork until the butter is broken apart. Continue to mash the butter into the flour mixture until it forms a ball. (This may take a couple of minutes, but it will eventually make a ball.) Place the ball of dough in the center of a 9-inch pie plate, and use your fingers to press the dough to cover the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Let the dough come a little above the top of the sides, in order to make a fluted edge. Make sure the crust is coating the bottom and side of the pan evenly. Bake the crust in a 350 degree oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden. Watch carefully, to that the pie crust does not burn in any spot. Remove the crust from the oven and cool to room temperature. (You may speed this up by placing it in the refrigerator after cooling it a bit initially.) When the crust is cool, you may assemble your pie.
