Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Mix together the water, white sugar, salt, cornstarch and food coloring and cook in a saucepan for about 5 minutes or until thickened. Set aside to cool.

    Most recipes sites get this so wrong and bake the whole thing. The filling comes in a bag at the restaurant and they just pour it into the shell. The Big Boy looks comes from the mounding of the strawberries – higher in the center than at the edge.
