Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rhubarb
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
Trim and chop the rhubarb into small, bite-sized pieces and spread it evenly on the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the salt and mix well.
In another larger bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no lumps remain. The batter should be smooth and pourable.
Pour the batter evenly over the rhubarb in the pie dish, ensuring all the rhubarb is covered by the batter.
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature. As it cools, a soft crust will form on the edges and bottom, creating the 'impossible' pie effect.
Optional: Sprinkle a dusting of ground cinnamon over the top before serving for extra flavor.
Slice and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
