Dough

1 3/4 cups unbleached white flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons cold butter
3/4 cup milk

1 cup sugar
1/3 cup unbleached white flour

This dessert can easily be made vegan: Substitute vegan non-hydrogenated margarine for the butter and plain soy milk or almond milk for the dairy milk.

To prepare dough: combine flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in bowl. Cut in cold butter until dough has the consistency of coarse sand (or use food processor). Add milk and gently knead just until a ball is formed. Refrigerate.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Combine sugar, flour, and salt for filling. Slowly whisk in water and lemon juice. Stir into strawberries. Place fruit in 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes, or until fruit is bubbling. Stir. Tear off 1/4-nch thick, half dollar size pieces of dough; place on top of berries; covering the entire surface. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter, sprinkle with brown sugar. Return to bake 30 minutes or until golden brown.
