- 3/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 cup Sour cream

11 steps
-
Preheat oven to 350F, prep a 9"x13" pan (no need to grease)
-
Slice strawberries, chop rhubarb into 1/2" slices across the stalk (stalk only, no leaves!). Add to a medium saucepan with 1/2 cup sugar and cook for about 10 minutes, or until rhubarb begins to soften. Set aside.
-
Cut flour and butter together as you would for a pie crust, until butter is in about pea sized pieces
-
Cut in 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and baking soda
-
Add egg yolks and sour cream, just until combined and doughey.
-
Separate out about 2/3 of the dough and roll it until large enough to cover bottom and most the sides of your 9x13 pan.
-
Line the pan with this bottom crust, then add filling.
-
Roll the remaining 1/3 crust to about 1/4-1/2” thick and cut into strips. Use these to make the lattice for the top (I usually make the sides a little tall so I can fold them over the lattice ends for a neat look)
-
Bake at 350 for 30-40 min or until the crust is nicely golden brown
-
While it bakes, make the topping – just combine all in a bowl to make a glaze with light almond flavor. Drizzle this on top as soon as it comes out of the oven.
-
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
