STRAIGHT-UP RHUBARB PIE



Straight-Up Rhubarb Pie image

This rhubarb pie contains no distractions, like strawberries. The crust is made with shortening. (Butter is fine if you want a French tart, but it's not American pie unless it's made with shortening, the author Anne Dimock said.) The top is marked with 8 razor-thin vents.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2/3 cup vegetable shortening, plus 2 tablespoons
6 tablespoons ice water
5 cups sliced rhubarb
1 1/4 cups sugar
5 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Make the crust: before measuring the flour, stir it to leaven with air and then measure out 2 cups. Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl and fluff with a fork. Cut the shortening into the flour with a fork or pastry blender. Stop as soon as the sheen of the butter disappears and the mixture is a bunch of coarse pieces. Sprinkle a tablespoon of water at a time over the dough, lifting and tossing it with the fork. When it begins to come together, gather the dough, press it into a ball and then pull it apart; if it crumbles in your hands, it needs more water. (It's better to err on the side of too wet than too dry.) Add a teaspoon or two more water, as needed.
  • Gather the dough into two slightly unequal balls, the larger one for the bottom crust and the smaller one for the top. Flatten the larger ball, reforming any frayed edges with the sides of your hand. Dust with flour and roll the dough, starting from the center and moving toward the edges. Take a knife or thin spatula and quickly work its edge between the crust and the counter top. Lift the dough to the side; dust the dough and counter top with flour. Roll again until the diameter is an inch or 2 larger than that of the pie pan. Lay the rolling pin a third of the way from one of the edges. Roll the crust onto the pin and then unroll the crust into a 9-inch pie pan and press it into place. Place in the freezer.
  • Make the filling: in a large bowl, blend the rhubarb, sugar, flour and cinnamon. Pour into the crust-lined pie pan. Dot with butter.
  • Roll out the top crust. Dab the rim of the bottom crust with water to create a glue. Then place the top crust over the rhubarb; trim, seal and cut several vents. Bake for 15 minutes; reduce the temperature to 350 degrees and bake 25 to 30 minutes more, or until a bit of pink juice bubbles from the vents in the crust.

Tips:

  • To ensure a flaky crust, use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can result in a tough crust.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender or forks, you can use a food processor to combine the butter and flour mixture. Just be careful not to over-process the dough, as this can also result in a tough crust.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid over-rolling. This will help prevent the dough from becoming tough.
  • 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 tablespoon or two of flour until it is no longer sticky.
  • To prevent the bottom of the pie from becoming soggy, pre-bake the crust for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
  • If you are using fresh rhubarb, be sure to wash and trim it thoroughly. Cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces.
  • To prevent the rhubarb from becoming too tart, add a little bit of sugar to the filling. You can also add other fruits, such as strawberries or blueberries, to the filling.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature (425 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for an additional 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Straight-up rhubarb pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, tart filling, and sweet-tart flavor, this pie is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give this straight-up rhubarb pie a try.
