Joy Of Cooking Rhubarb Pie
Description
Nothing beats the flavor of a homemade rhubarb pie. Rhubarb is a vegetable, but it is usually cooked with sugar and used as a fruit in pies, jams, and other desserts. Rhubarb is tart and tangy, and when paired with a sweet crust and filling, it creates a delicious and unique flavor. Rhubarb pie is easy to make and will make a great addition to any meal or gathering.
Ingredients
For the crust: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, 1/4 to 1/3 cup ice water. For the filling: 4 cups diced rhubarb, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons butter, melted.
Instructions
To make the crust: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter and mix with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges.
To make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, flour, sugar, ginger, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Drizzle the melted butter over the top. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
Equipment
To make this rhubarb pie, you will need a large bowl, a pastry blender or your fingertips, a rolling pin, a 9-inch pie plate, and an oven.
Notes
