Instructions
- For the pie crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries and chopped rhubarb. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Pour this mixture over the fruit and toss gently to coat.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges, leaving about a 1-inch overhang.
- Pour the strawberry-rhubarb filling into the prepared pie crust. Roll out the second disk of dough. You can either place it as a solid top crust (cutting vents) or cut it into strips for a lattice top.
- Place the top crust over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges start browning too quickly, cover them with foil.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream is a delicious accompaniment.
