**RECIPE, MAKES 4 SLICES**
For the crust:
2 cups (260 g) flour
1/4-1/2 cup (50-100 g) sugar (depending on how sweet you want your crust)
1 cold stick (4 oz, 114 g, I gave the wrong weight in the vid - this weight here is correct) butter (or, for vegans, vegetable shortening)
About 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt (maybe 3/4 if you're using unsalted butter)
3-5 tablespoons (40-70 ml) cold liquid (water, wine, fruit juice, whatever)
For the filling:
8 oz (225 g, half a pint) strawberries
1-2 tablespoons (12-14 g) sugar
zest of one lime (optional)
juice of half a lime (also optional, but consider some form of acid - balsamic vinegar is surprisingly nice)
For the topping (which is entirely optional):
One egg and water (or some melted butter, or coconut oil/milk, or the spare syrup from the strawberries)
Some coarse-grained sugar (like Demerara)
Some coarse-grained salt (particularly optional)
For the whipped cream:
1 cup (236 ml) cream
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
1-4 tablespoons (12-48 g) sugar
1/4-1/2 cup (60-120 ml) sour cream (optional, also you could use yogurt, creme fraiche or any semi-solid fermented dairy substance)
Start the crust by cutting the cold butter into all of the dry ingredients - with a pastry cutter, a food processor, some forks, or a big knife - until the butter chunks are no bigger than grains of rice. Add just enough cold liquid to BARELY bring it together into a dough. It should still be crumbly. Wrap it up and chill it for a half hour.
Stem and slice the strawberries and mix with the sugar (start with just one tablespoon - you can add more later) and lime (if using). Let sit for a few minutes while the sugar draws moisture out of the berries.
Whip the cream, mix in the extract, as much sugar as tastes good to you, and the sour cream (if using). Cover and keep cold until serving.
Prepare the egg wash by beating up the egg smooth with about a tablespoon of water. (Or if you're using melted butter, melt the butter.) Prepare the topping by mixing about a tablespoon of coarse sugar with about a teaspoon of coarse salt (if you're using salt).
Taste a strawberry and consider adding more sugar, acid, etc.
Put a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet (or if you don't have parchment, lightly grease the baking sheet). Start the oven heating to 350 F / 180 C convection, or 400 F / 200 C conventional.
Liberally flour a working surface, plop down the dough, and flour the dough. Roll it into a rough circle about 1/8 inch (1/2 cm) thick - roll a little, then turn 90 degrees, roll a little more, turn 90 degrees, etc.
Drape the dough over your rolling pin and transfer it to your baking sheet. Put the strawberries in the middle, but try not to pour on the excess syrup in the bowl. Smooth them out, leaving yourself a wide border all the way around. Fold the border in onto the filling - the filling should be partially covered with a top crust, but there should still be a large area of uncovered filling in the center.
Brush the top-facing crust with the egg wash (or melted butter, or coconut milk/oil, or the excess strawberry syrup) and coat with the sugar topping. Bake until light brown on top, 45-60 minutes. Let cool before slicing and serving with the whipped cream.

U good my guy

[@zzarkoo]

Actually that stone countertop is just as warm as anything else in that room, it just happens to have quite a high thermal conductivity which makes it feel colder because it absorbs heat more quickly than other materials. I suppose that might still prevent the butter from melting too fast. edit: Apparently the high thermal conductivity of the stone will actually make the butter melt faster. Thanks @HonzaJ

[@Thelotus661]

Okay Oscar.

[@TheGuerrCZ]

Quite conrary. It feels cool to you, because your temperature is higer then the table. Since the dough is colder that the table, it will warp up quicker (because of the high conductivity).

[@locustsun]

I was more concerned with the fact that we are to, by hand, turn the pastry. Hands are pretty warm, and if we are arguing over surface temps, why are not trying to limit the amount of 98.6+ degree hands working with the dough, interacting with the surface, and using a hollow dense glass bottle to roll out the dough. Truthfully, it probably doesn’t matter too much.

[@Hello71b]

@@locustsun actually if you filled the bottle with ice water it would probably be pretty effective at cooling the dough

[@JohnDotBomb]

Pretty sure there's an equation in my old heat transfer book on this. Uses thermal mass, thermal conductivity and temperature difference. This is why ice melts faster on metal than plastic. Adam is still half right, I'd say- the butter will soften quicker as it gets to room temperature, but what we're most worried about is it melting- it needs to stay solid to make the dough flaky. It won't melt unless it's raised above room temperature with our hands

[@liggieep]

Actually Adam, if you take the temperature of the stone countertop, you'll see it's room temperature. It feels cold to the touch because it is more thermally conductive than a plastic or wooden cutting board, drawing heat from your hand, and the pastry.

[@akivadavis2747]

Actually, since the pastry is colder than the countertop, the pastry will absorb heat from the stone making the butter in it melt faster.

[@OscarScheepstra_Artemis_]

@@akivadavis2747 This is why it is actually quicker to defrost a steak if you leave it in the counter or over a cast iron pan instead of a plastic bowl!

[@vikeshbubbles205]

Stone is the opposite of what you want. Stone isn't cold, it's room temperature like everything else. It feels cold because it sucks heat away from your warm body faster than an insulating material. This also means it will put heat into your cold butter faster. Something insulating like wood would keep the butter colder for longer.

[@gleggett3817]

You are adding energy to the butter by working it. The stone can take that energy away through better conduction and absorb it into its large mass.

[@vikeshbubbles205]

@@gleggett3817 Not really. The goal is to keep the dough under room temperature. As long as the dough is below room temperature the stone is adding energy into it. If working the dough brings it above room temperature the stone will remove energy, but at that point you've ruined it already.

Hey Adam, a Monday video idea: does salting eggs before scrambling actually denature proteins and make them watery? Thanks!

[@kaitlyn__L]

Hm, come to think of it, if it's true, maybe that's what I chase? When other people ask how I like my scrambled eggs I say medium, just coming together but not totally dry and omelette-like yet. But when people do that, the individual pieces are too small and it becomes like a grainy sauce. But I always salt and pepper my eggs first, and have never thought about it. I end up with large flaky chunks (about an inch cubed) that still have a creamy cream between them. (I also add milk and butter, though, too)

[@nienke7713]

“There is no truth to the common saying that acidity and salt “toughen” egg proteins. Acids and salt do pretty much the same thing to egg proteins. They get the proteins together sooner, but they don’t let them get as close together. That is, acids and salt make eggs thicken and coagulate at lower cooking temperature, but actually produce a more tender texture. The key to this seeming paradox is the negative electrical charge that most of the egg proteins carry, and that tends to keep them at a distance from each other. Acids- cream of tartar, lemon juice, or the juice of any fruit or vegetable-lower the pH of the egg, and thus diminish the proteins’ mutually repelling negative charge. Similarly, salt dissolves into positively and negatively charged ions that cluster around the charged portions of the proteins and effectively neutralize them. In both cases, the proteins no longer repel each other as strongly, and therefore approach each other and bond together earlier in the cooking and unfolding process, when they’re still mostly balled up and can’t intertwine and bond with each other as tightly. In addition, coagulation of the yolk proteins and of some albumen proteins depends on sulfur chemistry that is suppressed in acidic conditions. So eggs end up more tender when salted, and especially when acidified. Cooks have known this for a long time. In Morocco, Paula Wolfert found that eggs are often beaten with lemon juice before long cooking to prevent them from becoming leathery; and Claudia Roden gives an Arab recipe for scrambled eggs made unusually creamy with vinegar (the eggs’ alkalinity reduces the amount of free, odorous acetic acid, so the flavor is surprisingly subtle). Eggs scrambled with tart fruit juices were popular in 17th-century France, and may have been the ancestors of lemon curd.” from On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen by Harold McGee (I can highly recommend that book if you're interested in the science behind cooking) books.google.nl/books?id=bKVCtH4AjwgC&lpg=PA86&ots=qYPJkcJ0mf&pg=PA86#v=onepage&q&f=false

[@adams3616]

I don’t know scientifically, but when I salt my eggs ~20 minutes before I cook them, the raw eggs are definitely more translucent and loose, and the cooked eggs are more tender.
