Directions
Step 1
To make pastry, in large bowl, whisk flour with salt. Reserve 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter. Cut remaining butter into flour mixture with pastry-blender or rub with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Use fork to stir in about 1/4 cup (60 mL) cold water just until moistened, but still slightly crumbly. The mixture should hold together when pinched. Stir in up to 1 tbsp (15 mL) additional water, if needed. Pat into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 disks. Place each in plastic wrap. Chill at least 1 hr.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Roll out 1 disk to 1/8-in. (3 mm) thick circle large enough to line the bottom, sides and rim of a 9-in. (23 cm) pie plate. Trim off excess pastry. Prick bottom with a fork a few times. Freeze pie shell 10 min.
Step 3
Meanwhile, in large bowl, toss together rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, juice and vanilla. Take pie shell from freezer. Pour filling into pie shell (including juices in bowl). Cut reserved 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter cut into small pieces. Dot filling with the butter.
Step 4
Roll second pastry disk into 1/8-in. (3 mm) thick circle at least 2 in. (5 cm) wider than the pie. Cut into 8 strips about 1 in. (2.5 cm) wide. Arrange over filling and weave into a lattice top. trim off excess pastry at edges. Use a fork to press tines into the edge or crimp with fingers. (As an easy alternative to a lattice top, use a 2-in. (5 cm) diameter cookie-cutter, such as a star shape, to make cut-outs in rolled pastry and arrange them to partially cover the filling.)
Step 5
Fork-beat egg with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water. Brush pastry with egg wash. Place pie on baking sheet. Bake 1 hr. to 1 hr. 5 min. until filling is bubbling in the centre and pastry is golden. Transfer pie to wire rack to cool completely. Can be made up to 1 day in advance.
