RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE
In Grandmother's day, rhubarb was considered a "spring tonic". Although it's technically a vegetable, it is usually served as a fruit. At our house, we used the first rhubarb of the season to make this pie, and later in summer, we'd make a delicious drink with it, cooked, blended and mixed with strawberry punch.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Trim the rhubarb, wipe with a damp cloth and cut into pieces about 1-inch in length. Put into the base of a tin or saute pan, sprinkle with the sugar. We put the stainless steel saute pan on a low heat at this point while we make the dough.
- Sieve all the dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut the butter into cubes and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Whisk the egg with the milk. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, pour in the liquid all at once and mix to a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured board and roll into a 9-inch round about 1-inch thick. Place this round on top of the rhubarb and tuck in the edges neatly. Brush with a little egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes then, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees for another 30 minutes, or until the top is crusty and golden and the rhubarb soft and juicy.
- Remove from the oven and allow to sit for a few minutes. Put a warm plate over the top of the saute pan, turn upside down onto the plate being careful of the hot juices. Serve warm with soft brown sugar and whipped cream.
COUNTRY RHUBARB CAKE
Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, sift flour, salt, 3 tablespoons sugar and the baking soda together. With fingers, rub in butter until mixture is sandy. Beat 1 egg and add to flour mixture. Add buttermilk and blend just until mixture forms dough; it will be quite stiff and sticky. Turn out onto a floured work surface and divide in two. Roll out each piece to fit a 10-inch round baking dish. Line bottom of pan with one round, pinching together any tears.
- Cover dough with rhubarb and sprinkle rhubarb evenly with 1 heaping cup sugar. Place second pastry round on top and pinch edges together. Pinch together any holes. Beat remaining egg with 1 teaspoon water and brush it on dough.
- Place a baking sheet in oven to catch drips, and place baking dish on it. Bake until crust is golden and rhubarb is soft and juicy, about 1 hour. Immediately sprinkle with granulated sugar. Serve warm, with a sprinkle of brown sugar and whipped cream on each serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right rhubarb: Look for bright red stalks that are firm and plump. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces.
- Use a combination of sweet and tart apples: This will give your pie a well-balanced flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
- Don't overcook the rhubarb: Rhubarb cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
