  • 2 cups All-purpose flour 250g
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter 225g, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 tsp Salt 3g
  • 6 tbsp Ice water 90ml, as needed
  • 3 cups Fresh rhubarb 375g, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 1/3 cup Granulated sugar 65g
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch 8g
  • 1/4 cup Turbinado sugar 50g, for coating the crust
  • 5 sprigs Fresh thyme Leaves only, for garnish
  • 1 large Egg For egg wash

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet Heavy-duty for even browning.
  • 1 Pastry Blender Or two knives.

Method
 

Prepare the Shortcrust
  1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Use a pastry blender to cut the cold butter into the flour until pea-sized crumbs form.
  2. Add ice water 1 tbsp (15ml) at a time until the dough holds together. Wrap in plastic and chill for 1 hour.
Prepare the Filling
  1. Toss the 1-inch (2.5cm) rhubarb slices with granulated sugar and cornstarch. Let sit for 10 minutes until juices begin to glisten.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Roll dough into six 7-inch (18cm) circles. Place rhubarb in the center, leaving a 1.5-inch border.
  2. Fold edges over the fruit. Brush with egg wash and heavily encrust with turbinado sugar crystals.
  3. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30-35 minutes until the crust is a deep golden brown and juices are bubbling. Garnish with fresh thyme.
