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.

Tips:
- To ensure a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can make the crust tough.
- If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour. Just be sure to work quickly so that the butter doesn't melt.
- If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of ice water until it comes together. If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour until it forms a ball.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to do so on a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
- If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan. Just be sure to trim the excess dough around the edges.
- Before filling the pie crust, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- When making the custard filling, be sure to use fresh eggs and milk. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract for extra flavor.
- To prevent the custard filling from curdling, temper the eggs before adding them to the hot milk. To do this, whisk a small amount of the hot milk into the eggs, then slowly whisk the egg mixture into the remaining milk.
- Be sure to let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the custard filling to set.
Conclusion:
My Mom's Rhubarb Custard Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, creamy custard filling, and tart rhubarb filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
