Strawberry and rhubarb lattice pie
Rain is pouring over Lyon. It has been for the last couple of days. Life is crazy at the moment, feels good but so exhausting. I need all the naps. Nothing better than a good strawberry and rhubarb pie to feel better. After burning the first one in my new oven, the second came out perfectly delicious.
I made the dough myself because it is easy and quick and buttery delicious. But you could use store-bought for sure.
Strawberry-rhubarb pie is a traditional one, I love it. You can also add a few apples that are left from the season if you have some. It is rich, delicious and gives you a kick to get things done!
If you want to give the lattice design a try just double the dough recipe and roll it.
