I have made this pie with two types of pastry – shortcrust for the base and puff for the latticed top. It works just as well with all shortcrust. The trick to making good pastry is to keep everything as cold as you can and to rest it in the fridge prior to cooking. I used butter in the shortcrust, but another shortening (lard for instance) is fine. Or buy ready-made. I have to admit to buying the flaky pastry ready rolled from the supermarket – it saves a lot of time, but if you are making your own, the same applies in terms of keeping the pastry cool. Substitute raspberries for the rhubarb if you must.
