RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE



Rhubarb Custard Pie image

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.

Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Dessert     Pies     Pie

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 CUSTARD PIE



Rhubarb Custard Pie image

A simple custard base lets the sweet-tart flavor of spring shine through in the sugar-coated pieces of rhubarb.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Look for rhubarb stalks that are firm and bright red in color. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch pieces. If the rhubarb is very tart, you can sprinkle it with sugar and let it sit for 30 minutes before using it.
  • Make sure the custard is thick enough: The custard should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, add more cornstarch or flour. If it's too thick, add more milk or cream.
  • Don't overcook the pie: The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the custard is set. If you overcook it, the crust will become tough and the custard will curdle.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: The pie needs to cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the custard to set and the pie to firm up.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb custard pie is a delicious and classic dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
