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.

GRANDMA RAMPKE'S EASY RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE



Grandma Rampke's Easy Rhubarb Custard Pie image

This was my dad's favorite pie, and my mom got the recipe from his mother. It's been replicated all over the internet in the past few years. I think the first incidence can be documented to 1995.

Categories     Pie

Time 40m

Yield 1 pie, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 pie crust
1 1/2 cups cut rhubarb, in 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs, beaten (extra large eggs are even better)
1/2 cup sugar (yes, another 1/2 cup)
1 cup whole milk (not skim milk)
cinnamon

Steps:

  • Place 1/2 pie crust into pie plate.
  • Put the rhubarb in the crust and cover with 1/2 cup sugar.
  • Add the other 1/2 cup sugar to the milk and beaten eggs, and pour mixture over rhubarb.
  • Sprinkle top with cinnamon.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes; let cool before serving to allow custard to set.
  • Note from Julie: this was my dad's favorite pie, and my mom got the recipe from his mother.
  • Note, again: I've been on the 'net for a very, very long time, and this is one of the earliest recipes that I submitted to any search engines. What I can say: it's a tried and true recipe, one we've been using for well over 50 years. It's what my mom will be serving at Christmas this year... what else can I say?

Tips:

  • To ensure a flaky crust, keep the butter and shortening cold until you're ready to use them. You can also freeze the pie dough for up to 3 months before baking.
  • When making the custard filling, be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are well combined and fluffy. This will help prevent the custard from curdling.
  • To prevent the rhubarb from becoming too sour in your pie, add a small amount of sugar to the rhubarb before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb. It should be tender but still retain its shape.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set and prevent it from running out.

Conclusion:

This classic rhubarb custard pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. With its flaky crust, creamy custard filling, and tart rhubarb, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
