Equipment

  • 1 Pie dish 26 cm/ 10 inches/ 26 cm; a little more or less is fine

Ingredients

Crust (Note):

  • 375 g all-purpose flour 3 cups + 2 tablespoons/ 13 oz
  • 200 g unsalted butter very cold, ¾ cup + 1 tablespoon/ 7 oz
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 egg
  • 5-6 tablespoons ice-cold water

Filling:

  • 200 g granulated sugar 1 cup/ 7 oz
  • 50 g cornstarch ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon/ 2 oz
  • 350 g rhubarb 12.5 oz
  • 450 g blueberries 1 lb

Egg wash:

  • 1 small egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

Crust:

  • Mix the flour and salt in the food processor. Add the very cold butter cubes and pulse until the butter pieces are about the size of peas. Add the lightly beaten egg and cold water and pulse just a few times. The dough should come together when you pinch it. Turn the dough onto the working surface and divide into two even parts. Form each part into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until you make the filling.
    375 g all-purpose flour/ 3 cups + 2 tablespoons + 1 pinch salt + 200 g unsalted butter/ ¾ cup + 1 tablespoon + 1 egg + 5-6 tablespoons ice-cold water

Filling:

  • Mix sugar and cornstarch. Clean and chop the rhubarb into pieces about 1 inch/ 2 cm. Mix with the blueberries in a large bowl. Add the sugar mixture and mix well to coat.
    350 g rhubarb/ 12.5 oz + 450 g blueberries/ 1 lb + 200 g granulated sugar/ 1 cup + 50 g cornstarch/ ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon

Assemble:

  • Roll one disc of dough slightly larger than the pie dish so that some dough will overhang over the edges of the dish. Place it in the pie dish. Cover with the rhubarb-blueberry mixture.
  • Roll the second disc of dough, again slightly larger than the pie dish. Place on top of the pie dish and press the edges with your fingers to seal the pie. Cut excess dough, if necessary. Cut a cross in the middle of the pie so that the hot air can escape during baking. Place the pie in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C. Mix together the egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the crust with the mixture. Sprinkle with some granulated sugar.
    1 small egg + 1 tablespoon water + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes until golden brown. Place the dish on a wire rack to cool. Slice the pie in the dish and serve it directly from it.

Notes

Measurements: I recommend using a digital kitchen scale in baking (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab); it guarantees the best results.
