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 oven to 375 degrees. On a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour, roll out pate brisee to an 11-inch round (about 1/8-inch thick). Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, and trim edges of dough with kitchen shears to a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold edges under, and press to seal using the tines of a fork. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
- Line crust with parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides. Fill completely with pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake until bottom is dry, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove weights and parchment. Continue baking until bottom of crust is golden, 7 to 9 minutes more. Let cool.
- In a bowl, toss rhubarb with 1/4 cup sugar. Let stand 10 minutes. In another bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1 1/4 cup sugar, eggs, butter, and heavy cream until smooth and combined. Pour filling into crust. Scatter rhubarb evenly over top, gently pressing into custard. Bake until puffed and golden in places and slightly wobbly in the center, 50 minutes to 1 hour (tenting with foil if browning too quickly). Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 1 hour. Refrigerate until ready to serve, about 1 hour and up to 1 day.

CLASSIC RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE (WITH CRUST RECIPE)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar, if using. Whisk to blend thoroughly.
- Add the butter, working it into the flour mixture with your fingers or a pastry blender. Some pea-sized pieces of butter should remain intact.
- Stir in 4 tablespoons of ice water. Add more ice water, about 1 teaspoon at a time, until mixture begins to hold together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press until a smooth dough has formed. Do not overwork or the crust will be tough.
- Shape into a flattened disk. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400 F. On a lightly floured work surface, or between sheets of lightly floured parchment, roll the dough into a circle about 11-inches in diameter.
- Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Fold any excess dough over on itself and crimp the edge as desired.
- In a large bowl, toss together the rhubarb, sugar, flour, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with milk.
- Add the egg mixture to the rhubarb mixture, stirring until blended.
- Transfer the rhubarb mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot with butter.
- Bake until set in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. If your crust begins to brown too much, cover the edges with foil.
- Remove the pie to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Serve the rhubarb-custard pie with a big dollop of freshly whipped cream or ready-made whipped topping, if desired.

SIMPLY FANTASTIC RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE
There are several rhubarb custard pies on Zaar but I didn't find any quite like this one. It came from a friend at work and was tried and approved by another co-worker before I finally tried it last night. I think the topping really finishes it off. NOTE: I substituted Splenda for the sugar in the filling and it absolutely could not be detected. (I would have done the same with the topping but DH made the topping for me while I was making the filling.)

RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE
Rhubarb, technically a vegetable, is known for its very tart flavor and the fact that only the stalks are edible. There are many varieties of rhubarb which account for how the stalks vary in color from a deep red to a pale green. Although the flavor is delicious on all kinds, this pie looks prettiest with the red-stalked varieties. Look for thinner stalks, they will be more tender and less fibrous than thicker stalks.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Fit the pie dough into a 9-inch pie plate, fluting the edges, and chill until set, about 15 minutes. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork, and then line the crust with aluminum foil. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake until the edges of the crust are just golden, 20 minutes. Remove the foil with the pie weights and continue to bake until the bottom of the crust is dry and lightly browned, another 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely.
- Toss the rhubarb with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the orange zest and juice until well combined. Transfer to the crust and spread to form an even layer. Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet. Whisk the eggs with the cream, flour and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth, and then pour over the rhubarb. Bake until the pie is lightly browned, puffed and no longer wet in the center, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, lightly dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:
- Combine sugar and flour in mixing bowl.
- Add eggs, sour cream, margarine, and rhubarb.
- Pour into unbaked pie shell.
- Bake at 375F for 1 hour.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
Tips:
- Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly, trim the ends, and cut them into small pieces. If using frozen rhubarb, thaw it completely and drain any excess liquid.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your pie will taste. Look for fresh, ripe rhubarb, creamy custard, and a flaky pie crust.
- Don't overcook the rhubarb: Rhubarb can become mushy if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is tender and slightly softened.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Rhubarb custard pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or just enjoying it as a family dessert, this pie is sure to please everyone. With its sweet and tangy filling, creamy custard, and flaky crust, rhubarb custard pie is a delicious and satisfying treat.
