Most Delicious Golden Schmaltz Winner - Rhubarb Pie Recipe by Zach Fredman



Crust:
1 and 1/3 cups of flour
1/2 cup of vegetable shortening
1/4 cup of butter
pinch of salt
three pinches of lemon zest

(The secret: keep everything cold; the butter, the flour, the bowl - everything cold. Work the butter in well, with an excellent tool. Mix in 3 tbsp. of ice water, and make a crust. Refrigerate overnight.)

Filling:
strawberries
rhubarb
1 tsp vanilla
7 pinches of sugar
1/3 cup of flour

Crumble:
2 sticks (yes, sorry) butter
1 cup sugar
1.5 cups of flour

(Bake at 325 or so, for an hour, or so ... until golden brown and bubbling. Be with the pie while it's in the over. Serve with vanilla ice cream).
