Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish. In a large bowl combine the 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl beat the egg, sour cream, melted butter and vanilla extract. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour into prepared baking dish. Spread strawberries evenly over this batter. Prepare topping by tossing together 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup sugar in a small bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly; a small electric chopper works well for this. Stir in pecans.Sprinkle topping evenly over strawberries. Bake for 35 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, topping with vanilla ice cream if desired.
