Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour and salt. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Cut in the chilled shortening and butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles pea-sized pieces. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Divide the dough in half, form each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight. (1 hour+)

05

Step

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (10 minutes)

06

Step

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into an 11-inch circle. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim any excess. Crimp the edges to create a decorative border. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling. (5 minutes)

08

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the chopped strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, tapioca, flour, vanilla extract, orange zest, orange juice, and cinnamon. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Pour the strawberry-rhubarb filling into the prepared pie crust. Dot the top of the filling with the chilled butter pieces. (2 minutes)

10

Step

Roll out the second disk of dough into a 10-inch circle. Gently place the dough over the filling, trim any excess, and crimp the edges together with the bottom crust to seal. (5 minutes)

11

Step

Brush the top crust with beaten egg white for a beautiful golden sheen. Cut several slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. (3 minutes)

12

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil. (55-60 minutes)

13

Step

Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly. (2-3 hours)

For an extra flaky crust, ensure all ingredients are very cold.
Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar depending on the tartness of your rhubarb.
A lattice top is another beautiful option for this pie.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
