Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Slightly grease a 8×8 inch (20x20cm) square pan and line with parchment paper, in such a way that some edges are longer to make it easy to lift it up once it's set.

- Press remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan.
- Cut strawberries in small pieces and place into a bowl. Add sugar, lemon zest and cornstarch and toss to coat. Spread the strawberries over the crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved cup of crumb mixture over the strawberries.
