Notes

The amount of sugar and cornstarch that you need will depend on how sweet and juicy your strawberries are and how sweet you prefer your desserts to be.
I recommend using either salted butter or butter + a couple of pinches of salt. The little bit of salt helps to balance out the sweetness in the crisp.
