Ingredients
  

For the pie crust
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 6 tbsp Unsalted Butter (cold and cut into small cubes)
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Shortening (cold and cut into cubes)
  • 4-6 tbsp Ice Cold Water
For the filling
  • 3 cups Rhubarb (sliced and cut into small pieces)
  • 3 cups Strawberries (hulled and sliced into small pieces)
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar (lightly packed)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter (cut into small cubes, dotting)
  • 1 Large Egg White (to be brushed onto the pie crust for shine)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by preparing the homemade flaky pie crust. Combine flour and salt, then cut in the butter and vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add ice cold water until the dough forms, then chill in the refrigerator.
  3. For the strawberry rhubarb filling, mix sliced fruit with the sugars, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to enhance the natural flavors.
  4. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and dot with butter before covering it with a top crust.
Baking
  1. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-45 minutes.
  2. Look for a golden-brown crust and bubbling filling as signs of doneness.
