Strawberry Pandowdy

A truly old-fashioned dessert, "pandowdy" is said to refer to the cutting up of the flaky crust, or "dowdy-ing," toward the end of the baking time. Once the crust is cut, the bubbly fruit cooks up around the crust. This dessert is good with whichever berries are ripe at the moment. In early summer go for strawberries. Serve with ice cream or frozen yogurt.
