Combine the rhubarb and the strawberries in a bowl. Mix the flour, sugar, cornstarch and salt, if using. Roll out the bottom crust and ease it into the pie dish. Put 1\/4 cup of the flour mixture in the bottom crust and spread it around. Set the crust in the fridge. Add the rest of the flour mixture to the fruit and toss well. Roll out the top crust and cut it into strips \u2013 with a decorative cutter if you have one \u2013 the one I use is actually for making the ruffled edges of lasagna noodles. Toss the fruit again, and pour it into the bottom crust \u2013 it helps to take it out of the fridge at this point. Dot the fruit with small pieces of butter. Weave the crust strips into a lattice \u2013 the American pie book has explicit instructions on page 345 \u2013 or just use what you remember from making woven potholders for your mom. Bake the pie for 10 minutes then reduce the heat to 375\u00b0. Bake for about another 50 minutes, until the filling is bubbling. Cover loosely with foil if the crust browns too fast. let cool at least 1 hour and eat with vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n<p><strong><big>*<\/big><\/strong>I have always used my mom\u2019s recipe \u2013 3 cups flour to 1 cup butter, with 1 TBLS sugar per cup of flour for a sweet pie. And I tended to use unsalted butter, which makes a good tasting, but not flakey crust. For flakes you need shortening or lard. Recently I\u2019ve been playing around with both the proportions, and the type of fat \u2013 mom used salted margarine \u2013 and I have decided that I like the original proportions, but with salted butter, plus two TBLS vegetable shortening. Also recently, I like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthbalancenatural.com\/\">Earth Balance<\/a> better than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crisco.com\/\">Crisco<\/a>. I guess that\u2019s not so blasphemous \u2013 even my mom, born and raised in Cincinnati \u2013 both her Dad &amp; brother worked for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pg.com\/\">P&amp;G<\/a> \u2013 thought that Crisco was suitable for greasing pans, not eating.
