Ingredients:
Crust and Topping:
1 and1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 egg
Filling:
1 pound strawberries, hulled and chopped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Crust and Topping
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a food processor, add 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Pulse a couple of times to mix the dry ingredients.
Add Butter and Egg: Add the cold, cubed butter and the egg (both yolk and white). Pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs that hold together when pressed.
Prepare the Pan: Butter an 8x8 inch glass baking dish, including the sides. Press about 2/3 of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the dish to form the crust.
Step 2: Prepare the Strawberry Filling
Chop Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into small pieces.
Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the chopped strawberries with 1/4 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Mix until the strawberries are well coated.
Step 3: Assemble the Bars
Add Filling: Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the crust.
Top with Crumbs: Take the remaining 1/3 of the crumb mixture and sprinkle it over the strawberries. For larger crumbs, squeeze some of the mixture into small balls and break them over the top.
Step 4: Bake
Bake the Bars: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool to room temperature before cutting into squares. Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
