Ingredients:

  • 1.25 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tbsp (8g) granulated sugar
  • 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
  • 4 tbsp (60ml) ice-cold water
  • 1 lb (450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 2 stalks (300g) rhubarb, sliced into 0.5 inch pieces
  • 0.33 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg (50g), beaten
  • 1 tbsp (8g) coarse turbinado sugar

Instructions:

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Add cold butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or forks to mash the butter into the flour until it looks like coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
  3. Drizzle in ice water one tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough just begins to clump together.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced strawberries and rhubarb with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon.
  6. Let the fruit mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate.
  7. Place the chilled dough on a piece of parchment paper and roll into a rough 12-inch circle.
  8. Pile the fruit mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
  9. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit to create a rustic crust.
  10. Brush the crust edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse turbinado sugar.
  11. Bake on a flat sheet for 35 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
