In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold butter, cut into small cubes, and use a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough starts to come together. Do not overmix.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a separate bowl, combine the mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the berries are evenly coated.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 12x16 inches in size.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spoon the berry mixture onto the center of the pastry, leaving a border of about 2 inches around the edges.
Fold the edges of the pastry over the berry filling, pleating as necessary. The center will remain open.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush this over the crust for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Allow the pastry to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
