    A delicious and easy Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with a homemade crust that doesn't need any chilling, and a fantastic filling of fresh strawberries and rhubarb. This fruit pie is an all-time favourite that is a big hit with everyone.

    Back with a seasonal recipe, the one and only strawberry and rhubarb pie, an old-fashioned summer dessert that needs no presentation. Sweet juicy strawberries, so fresh and delicious, and rhubarb, rather sour, but it does become sweet when cooked. The two together make a perfect combo, absolutely delicious in this pie.

    It's funny how for many years l didn't even consider trying rhubarb, it never really looked interesting enough, but more like a less appealing version of a celery stalk. How wrong was I?! Yes, it might not be tasty at all raw, but baked in a delicious dessert, now that's amazing!

    It definitely was love at first sight, and just my luck that it's in season now; and with delicious strawberries coming in season too, I can't think of a better combo for a lovely homemade pie.

    If you can't wait around for buttery pie crusts to chill, I'll show you how to make a great homemade crust that needs no chilling, and can be made with vegetable oil. This crust is light, and perfect for any pies - I used it with my apple pie too, with the same great results.

    HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY AND RHUBARB PIE

    The filling

    This lovely pie is ready from scratch in about one hour - not quite a super quick dessert, but it surely is worth every single second spent in the oven. And every single calorie too!

    Start by preparing the filling - no need to cook the strawberries and rhubarb first - they can be used raw. Chop the rhubarb in bite-size pieces, cut the strawberries in half or quarter depending on their size, and add them to a bowl together with the white and light brown sugar and cornflour (corn starch).

    Mix everything well and set aside until the dough is ready. The fruit will leave some juices in the bowl, we won't be needing those, that is why is important to set it aside for a white, otherwise the excess liquid will make the pie soggy.

    THE DOUGH

    Traditional pies use an all-butter crust that needs to chill for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Well, no time for that, so we can make a quicker and easier pie crust that is ready to use straight away.

    • beat the egg with a pinch of salt, add the sugar, and mix well until you get a smooth, pale yellow mixture
    • add the baking powder, vanilla extract, flour and oil, and mix well to get a dough that does not stick to the hands
    • divide the dough into two, one half will be rolled into a large circle which will be the bottom of the pie, the second one will be rolled and cut into strips to top the pie

    HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE

    Once the dough is ready, grease and flour a pie tin or dish, place the rolled dough, the filling (discarding the juices left in the bowl, we won't need those), then arrange the dough strips on top. Brush with beaten egg.

    Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for about 20-25 minutes, if the strawberries and rhubarb are not soft enough at this point, cover the pie loosely with kitchen foil, and bake for a further 15-20 minutes, the foil with prevent the crust from browning too quickly.

    And that's it! A delicious pie to lick your fingers clean. Best served with a fantastic homemade custard.Yum!
