Ingredients

  • frozen-butter pastry dough
  • 1 1/2 pounds trimmed rhubarb
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups raspberries
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream

Method

  • Divide dough into 2 pieces (1 piece should be slightly smaller than the other).
  • Chill larger dough piece, wrapped in plastic wrap.
  • On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin roll out smaller piece of dough into a 10-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick).
  • Transfer round to a large baking sheet and chill, covered.
  • Roll out remaining dough into an 11-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick) and stack it on top of first round.
  • Chill pastry rounds, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  • Cut enough rhubarb crosswise into 1/2-inch slices to measure 4 cups.
  • In a 3-quart kettle stir together 3 cups rhubarb, 1 cup sugar, and cinnamon and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted, about 6 minutes.
  • In a small bowl stir together cornstarch and lemon juice.
  • Add cornstarch mixture to rhubarb mixture and boil, stirring constantly, until rhubarb is thickened, about 5 minutes, and transfer mixture to a bowl.
  • Cool mixture to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Fold raspberries and remaining cup rhubarb into mixture until just combined.
  • Chill rhubarb filling, covered, at least 30 minutes, or until cold.
  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • In a small bowl whisk together egg and milk to make an egg wash.
  • Fit 11-inch round of dough into a 9-inch (1-quart) glass pie plate and trim with scissors, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
  • Spoon rhubarb filling into shell, smoothing top, and brush edge of crust with egg wash. Drape remaining pastry round over filling and trim, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
  • Crimp edge decoratively.
  • With a sharp small knife score a decorative pattern on crust and brush crust evenly with some egg wash. Sprinkle crust with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
  • Bake pie on a baking sheet in middle of oven 35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cooked through.
  • (If pastry gets too brown too quickly, tent pie with foil.)
  • Transfer pie to a rack.
  • Cool pie at least 1 hour to set filling.
  • Serve pie with ice cream.
