2 lg Eggs
MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
1 tb Unsalted butter
5 oz Strawberries; hulled, rough

2 oz Rhubarb; peeled, rough

3 tb Sugar
1/2 tb Rice wine vinegar
1/4 ts Fresh ground black pepper

MAKE THE DOUGH: Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
Using a dough blender, two forks, or your fingers, cut
butter into flour mixture, forming pea-size crumbles.
Whisk milk and 1 egg in a separate bowl and add to flour
mixture; work dough until smooth but with visible flecks
of butter. (Alternatively, pulse ingredients in a food
processor.) Flatten dough into a disk and wrap in
plastic wrap; chill at least 1 hour before using.
MAKE THE FILLING: Melt butter in a 2-qt. saucepan over
medium. Cook strawberries and rhubarb until soft and
jamlike, 6-8 minutes. Stir in sugar, vinegar, pepper,
lemon juice, and salt; cook 3 minutes more. Let cool to
room temperature, then cover and chill at least 30
minutes before using.
ASSEMBLE AND BAKE THE PIES: On a lightly floured
surface, roll dough 1/4" thick. Trim edges to make a
10"x12" rectangle. Cut dough into six 4"x5" rectangles;
gather dough scraps, re-roll, and cut one more
rectangle. Place 2 tbsp. filling in center of each
rectangle. Whisk remaining egg in a bowl and brush edges
of rectangles; fold one short side of dough over the
other, encasing the filling. Crimp edges using a fork.
Transfer pies to parchment paper-lined baking sheets and
chill 20 minutes. Beat remaining egg; cover and chill.
Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.
Using a fork, prick tops of pies; brush tops with the
remaining beaten egg. Bake pies until golden, about 20
minutes; let cool slightly before serving.
Yield: makes 7 pies
