Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Zest of 1 lemon
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and flour. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter and egg. The dough will be crumbly. Pat half of the dough into the prepared pan.
In another bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Gently mix in the strawberries.
Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble the remaining dough over the berry layer.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
