Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups (diced) Fresh rhubarb
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 whole Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean and dice the rhubarb into small, even pieces. Measure out 3 cups and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
Gradually incorporate the egg mixture with the dry ingredients, whisking to create a smooth custard base.
Sprinkle the diced rhubarb evenly into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
Pour the custard mixture over the rhubarb, ensuring the fruit is evenly covered.
Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean when done.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Serve the pie as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added decadence. Enjoy!
