Description
Delightful pastry filled with sweet strawberries and tangy rhubarb, perfect for nostalgic moments and cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (frozen)
- 2 1/2 cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 lightly beaten egg (for egg wash)
- 1 1/4 cup rhubarb (cut into small pieces)
- 1 cup strawberries (hulled and quartered)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon reserved strawberry rhubarb jam (from above)
- White sprinkles
Instructions
- Freeze the butter until frozen solid, about 1 hour.
- Rub the butter against the largest grating surface on a box grater, catching the butter in a bowl or plate.
- Place the butter back in the freezer while you measure the rest of the ingredients.
- Combine the dry ingredients for the pie dough in a stand mixing bowl.
- Add the frozen shredded butter to the dry ingredients. Mix with the paddle attachment until the butter is coated in flour.
- Measure the water and vinegar into a bowl and then add ice. Stir to melt some of the ice so that the water is super cold.
- With the mixer running on low, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of the ice water at a time. You will need about 12-15 tablespoons.
- Stop adding water when the dough comes together easily and forms large clumps. The dough should feel moist and a little sticky, but not feel overly wet.
- Portion the dough in half, about 330 grams each.
- Wrap each half loosely in plastic wrap, then use a rolling pin to roll each into a flat square disc.
- Chill the pie dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour or up to 5 days before using.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, consider using a gluten-free flour blend. Keep all ingredients cold to ensure a flaky crust.
