Time 2h25m

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 recipe Pie Dough for Caramelized Apple Tart
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 pound rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (4 cups)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup heavy cream

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.

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the Pie Crust
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional: 1 teaspoon sugar (scant)
8 tablespoons butter (chilled, cut into small pieces)
4 to 6 tablespoons water (with ice)
For the Rhubarb Custard Filling
3 cups rhubarb (diced)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon butter

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.

RHUBARB ORANGE CUSTARD PIE



Rhubarb Orange Custard Pie image

Once you try this pie it will spoil you for other rhubarb pie recipes. This recipe is from the old Farm Journal pie book from the sixties and is a family favorite. That book had several wonderful recipes. Unfortunately the book was poorly made and disintegrated all too soon. We were thrilled to learn that it had been re-issued but discovered to our dismay that that all of our favorite recipes were gone! We made do by photo copying the remains of the old book and now you get to share in the bounty. By the way NEVER skip the drip pan! This pie will always overflow and it makes a nasty smelly mess on the bottom of the oven if you don't have something to catch it.

RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE



Rhubarb Custard Pie image

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.

Time 3h35m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sheet refrigerated pie dough (from a 14.1-ounce package)
1 1/4 pounds rhubarb (about 6 medium stems), trimmed, halved lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, preferably Valencia
2 tablespoons orange juice, preferably Valencia
2 large eggs
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Confectioners' sugar, for serving

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.
