Sweet Strawberry & Rhubarb Pie with Sugar Pie Honey Buns | Farm to Table Family | PBS Parents - YouTube farmtotablefamily

In my opinion, baking for someone is just about one of the purest expressions of love out there. It requires that you give time, patience and care, all so that your loved ones can enjoy a special treat. And while creme brûlée is elegant, and towering cakes are grand and imposing, there's something down right home-y and comforting about a pie, like a warm hug from a good friend. Lots of people are intimidated by pie crust, and while it does take some time to do it right, it's not hard to master. The key is to keep it cold, cold, cold, so make sure you don't cheat on the chilling steps. The whole idea is to keep the butter in solid pieces, creating little pockets between the layers of dough as it cooks and making for a light, flaky crust. The strawberry rhubarb filling hits all the right notes: sweetness from the strawberries, tartness from the rhubarb and an aroma that's pretty much heaven when it comes out of the oven. Oh, and a sizable scoop of vanilla ice cream on top wouldn't hurt either. Just sayin'. STRAWBERRY & RHUBARB PIE PERFECT PIE CRUST RECIPE: 2 ½ c all-purpose flour 1 tbsp + 1 tsp sugar 1 tsp salt 1 c (2 sticks) butter, cut into small cubes then chilled in freezer ½ c cold water 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1. Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together to combine. 2. Scatter the butter pieces over the flour mixture and toss. Either use a food processor to pulse 10x or mix by hand. To blend by hand, dump the mixture on to a big work surface and using a bench scraper or pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until it is broken into pieces the size of split peas. Final texture should resemble course meal. Scrape the dry mixture back into large bowl. 3. Sprinkle half of the vinegar water over the dry mixture. Toss well with a wooden spoon to dampen. Add the remaining water and continue to toss and mix, by hand, pulling the mixture up from the bottom of bowl. Test the dough by squeezing some of it between your fingers. If it is too try and not packing together, add a tablespoon of cold water over the mixture and toss again. Final texture should feel like wet sand – wet, but not sticking to your hands. 4. Using your hands, pack the dough into two balls. Wrap the dough with plastic and press the dough together and form a disk. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight before rolling.
