Preparation Steps
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt. Cut in very cold unsalted butter and vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles small peas.
- Gradually incorporate ice-cold water, mixing just until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and position the oven rack just above the center.
- Roll out one disc of dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate and return it to the fridge to chill.
- Combine sliced rhubarb and strawberries with light brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and unsalted butter. Toss gently.
- Transfer the fruit filling into the chilled pie crust and cover with the second disc of dough, crimping the edges to seal.
- Brush the top crust with whisked egg white and cut small slits for venting.
- Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then reduce to 375°F and continue baking for 50-60 minutes.
- After baking, let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours.

Notes
Keep all fats cold, chill the crust after fitting, and use a slotted spoon for filling to avoid sogginess.
