Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add cold diced unsalted butter to the flour mixture.
  4. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend butter into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Reserve about one third of the crumb mixture for topping.
  6. Press the remaining crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a small baking pan (about 15x15 cm).
  7. In another bowl, mix chopped fresh strawberries with lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  8. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the pressed crust in the baking pan.
  9. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the strawberry layer.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars.

Tips
