MY MOTHER always made Rhubarb Custard Pie with the first rhubarb picked. It's one of my earliest memories of a favorite treat, so I feel lucky to have this recipe. Mother was famous for her gorgeous pies. Unfortunately, she didn't write down most of her recipes...just "a handful of this" and "a dab of that" until it feels "just right" guided her creations. -Dolly Piper, Racine, Wisconsin

CUSTARDY RHUBARB PIE

Provided by David Karp

Categories     project, dessert

Time 1h

Yield A 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 7

Dough for a 9-inch double-crust pie
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups fresh rhubarb (about 1 pound), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Divide dough into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Roll out larger piece into an 11-inch disk and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. On a sheet of wax paper, roll out smaller piece into a 9 1/2-inch disk. Place lined pie plate and disk in refrigerator while making filling.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add sugar, cornstarch and salt, and mix to blend. Stir in rhubarb. Place filling in pie shell. Cut butter into thin chips and dot them over filling.
  • Cover pie with smaller piece of dough, peeling off wax paper. Trim, and crimp dough. With a sharp knife, make 4 slits in center of top to allow steam to escape.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, and continue baking until crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes more. Cover edges with foil if needed to prevent burning. Cool pie on a wire rack before slicing.

Tips:

  • To ensure your rhubarb pie filling is not too tart, use a combination of sweet and tart rhubarb stalks.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour.
  • When rolling out the pie crust, be sure to roll it out evenly and to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  • Before filling the pie crust, trim the edges so that they are even.
  • To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
  • When baking the pie, place it on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  • Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, this recipe will help you create a delicious rhubarb pie that you and your loved ones will enjoy.
