Photo: © Tina Rupp Active Time: 30 mins Total Time: 8 hrs Yield: 1 (9 1/2-inch) deep-dish, double crust pie Ingredients Flaky Pie Dough 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch dice 1/4 cup lard (2 ounces), frozen and cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1/2 cup ice water Filling 1 1/2 pounds strawberries, hulled and quartered (5 cups) 1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, sliced 1/2 inch thick (5 cups) 1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling 1/4 cup cornstarch Pinch of salt Flaky Pie Dough Directions Make the Dough In a food processor, pulse the flour and salt. Add the butter and lard and pulse 5 or 6 times, until they are the size of peas. Drizzle in the ice water and pulse just until the crumbs are moistened. Press the dough into a ball. Divide the dough into 2 pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes. Make the Filling Preheat the oven to 375°F and position a rack in the lower third. In a bowl, toss the strawberries and rhubarb with the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Assemble and Bake the Pie Roll out the larger piece of Flaky Pie Dough to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Line a 9 1/2-by-1 3/4-inch glass pie plate with the dough. Brush the overhang with water and spoon in the filling. Roll out the smaller piece of dough into a 12-inch round and lay it over the filling; press the edges together. Trim the overhang to 1/2 inch, fold it under itself, and crimp. Lightly brush the top with water and sprinkle with sugar. Cut a few slits for steam to escape. Bake the pie until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 2 hours. Cover the edge of the pie with foil if it begins to darken. Let cool for 5 hours at room temperature before serving. Originally appeared: August 2007 Rate It Print
