Ingredients
Method
Preparation of the crust
- Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough in half, form into disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preparation of the filling
- In a bowl, mix strawberries and rhubarb with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, vanilla, and lemon juice, tossing gently to coat.
Assembling the pie
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan, then line the pan with it.
- Fill it evenly with the prepared fruit mixture.
- Roll out the second disk and cut it into 3/4-inch wide strips, place half the strips horizontally across the pie, then weave the remaining strips vertically to create a lattice design.
- Trim and crimp the edges of the dough.
Baking
- Combine the egg and milk, brush over the lattice top, and add coarse sugar on top.
- Place the pie onto a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 35–40 minutes or until the crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
- Allow the pie to cool completely for at least 2 hours before slicing.
