- Mix and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
- .SK 2
- Make the pie crust:
- Cut the shortening and flour together.
- This can be done with two knives, with a pastry cutter, or with
- some electric mixers.
- (I do mine in a Kitchenaid food processor/mixer.)
- When the mixture has an even consistency (it should resemble
- coarse sand), add in the milk (or water).
- Take about 5/8ths of the dough and roll out on a floured board
- until it is a little bit larger than a
- .AB "10-inch" "25-cm"
- pie pan.
- Put this in the pie pan.
- (The rest of the dough is for the top of the pie.)
- .SK 3
- Pour the strawberries and rhubarb mixture into the pie crust.
- .SK 4
- Roll out the remainder of the pie crust.
- Place on top of the pie, crimping the edges of the top and
- bottom crusts together.
- Make one or two slits in the top of the crust for steam to escape.
- .SK 5
- Bake 45 to 50 minutes at
- .TE 400 200
- or until syrup boils with heavy bubbles that do not burst.
- .NX
- Strawberries and rhubarb are both seasonal fruits.
- Their season is late spring/early summer.
- .PP
- You can use
- .AB "\(34 cup" "150 g"
- sugar if you like it less sweet.
- .PP
- I recommend putting a piece of aluminum foil under the pie as it
- is cooking, because it invariably leaks.
- This will save you from having to clean up the oven.
