Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt, then cut in the cold unsalted butter and cold vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles small peas.
- Gradually add in ice cold water, just enough for the dough to come together without being sticky. Shape it into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into two equal discs. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate again for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and adjust the oven rack to sit just above the center.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter, then transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rhubarb, strawberries, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and unsalted butter. Stir gently until the fruit is coated.
- Transfer the filling mixture into the chilled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Roll out the second dough disc and drape it over the filling, trimming any excess dough and sealing the edges.
- Brush the top crust with egg white, place the pie on a baking sheet, and bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375°F (190°C) for an additional 50-60 minutes.
- Once baked, let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes
Keep all ingredients cold for a flaky crust. Don’t skip chilling the dough twice.
