Instructions

Step 1
  • Cut the butter into pieces and rub into the flour to make a fine breadcrumb consistency. Add the water and quickly make into a dough.
Step 2
  • Wrap in clingfilm and chill for about an hour in the fridge.
Step 3
  • Roll the dough out to approximately 20 x 30 cm and cut off 2 wide strips to put around the edge of the pie dish.
Step 4
  • Cut the rhubarb into chunks of about 3 cm. Put either the rhubarb chunks or gooseberries in the pie dish.
Step 5
  • Mix the sugar and potato flour together and sprinkle it over the fruit.
Step 6
  • Now cut the rest of the dough into long strips and place over the fruit like a grid. If necessary press the dough on the edge with a fork.
Step 7
  • Now brush the pastry with some beaten egg. Bake the pie in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes at 225 ° in a traditional oven. Serve it warm.
Enjoy!
