- 1 cup strawberries, small-diced
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2–3 tsp lemon zest (from one medium lemon)

Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest; set aside.
- Unroll the pastry and cut each pie crust into 8 rounds for a total of 16 rounds.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of the strawberry mixture in the center of 8 rounds, then top each with a remaining round and seal the edges with a fork.
- Poke a few small holes in the top of each pie to vent, and brush each top with the beaten egg mixed with the cream or milk.
