GUESS WHO MADE A STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE FROM SCRATCH 'N STYLES?
GUESS WHO'S A BADASS MOFO?
GUESS! GUESS!
Dude, last time I tried to bake something, it was such a disaster that I had to pay my niece not to tell anyone about it. This time, I actually followed a recipe and measured things (apparently, this is key but I never really believed it).
I'm not gonna lie. It was epic - a work of pure culinary genius. I only say this because I am still in a state of shock that the pie didn't go up in flames. But I really think this recipe must be foolproof (I adapted it slightly here and there because I have problems with authority) since even I could pull it off.
Of course it helps to have luscious Long Island strawberries that are so fragrant they taste like their own perfume, rhubarb picked within a few hours of baking, a cool, smooth marble surface so the dough doesn't get warm and sticky, to mix the crust ingredients with a pastry cutter instead of a food processor (the little lumps of butter and shortening seemed to make the crust flakier), and to have your mommy within earshot when shit gets hectic with the crust. MAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Nigella, get ready for your smack-down.
