Method

To make the crust: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Stir together the flour, salt, oil, milk, and sugar in a medium bowl. Press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

To make the filling: Combine the sugar, cornstarch, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, until thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the gelatin and food coloring. Let cool until lukewarm. Add the strawberries and pour into the cooled crust. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Serves: 6 to 8
