Ingredients
  

FLAKEY PIE CRUST:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups shortening or 1 cup lard
  • 2/3 cup cold water
STRAWBERRY RHUBARB FILLING:
  • 4 to 4 1/2 cup fresh rhubarb stalks cut into 1 inch pieces (about 2 lbs)
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries halved (about 2 lbs)
  • little less than 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 Tbs tapioca
  • 1/4 tsp salt
PIE:
  • egg wash 1 egg white + 1 Tbs water
  • 2 to 4 Tbs salted butter
  • 2 Tbs cinnamon sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
FLAKEY PIE CRUST:
  1. In a large bowl, add flour, salt and fat. Using two butter knifes or a pastry cutter, cut the fat into the flour until it forms a dry small crumble mixture.
  2. Add COLD water. Using knifes or pastry cutter blend until a dough forms. Set aside or place in fridge until ready to roll out.
STRAWBERRY RHUBARB FILLING:
  1. In a large bowl, add rhubarb pieces, strawberry halves, sugar, cornstarch, salt and tapioca. Toss and stir until coated.
ASSEMBLING THE PIE:
  1. Split pie dough into two equal pieces. On a well-floured surface roll out to 1/8 inch thick. Dough needs to be about 3 inches larger than pie dish (8 or 9 inch DEEP pie dish. *see notes).
  2. Carefully press one half rolled out pie dough into pie dish. Remove any excess by cutting with a knife.
  3. Add strawberry rhubarb filling.
  4. To make the lattice, cut second rolled out pie dough into long 1-inch wide strips. Place long strips in a weaving pattern (lattice) on top of filling. Cut excess dough from edge.
  5. Crimp edge using fingers or a fork.
  6. Brush lattice pie dough with egg wash.
  7. Place a small piece of butter in each lattice hole.
  8. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  9. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes then reduce temperature to 350°F for an additional 50-60 minutes or until crust is consistently golden brown and pie is cooked through.
  10. Let pie cool before slicing (1-2 hours). Serve warm, room temperature or a la mode.

Notes

  1. If using a convection baking oven, reduce heat by 25°F to avoid burning.
  2. Add ice cubes to water for pie crust. This will insure the water is very cold and will help the crust be as flakey as possible.
  3. This recipe is designed to be made in a 9-inch DEEP pie dish. If using a regular depth or 8-inch pie tin, lessen the amount of filling to avoid overfilling. Filling should be slightly heaping or mounted before baking. Filling will cook down as it bakes.
