I knew it would be hard to beat my mom & grandma’s recipe for rhubarb pie. Would this version from Simply in Season take the cake?
FOR PRINTABLE VERSION CLICK HERE: Rhubarb Pie
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
3 Tbs salt
3 cups rhubarb (chopped)
1 cup flour
1/3 cup butter
2 Tbs powdered sugar
1. Separate yolks from the egg whites. Beat egg whites into stiff peaks (I used a Kitchen Aid). Beat egg yolks separately.
2. Mix sugar, flour, and salt in with the yolks. Add the rhubarb, and fold in the beaten egg whites.
For Crust
1. Mix together flour, butter, and powdered sugar until crumbly, with no pieces larger than a pea.
2. Press into a 9 inch pan or tart pan. Add the rhubarb mixture. Bake in preheated oven at 425F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350F and continue baking for 30 minutes or until set.
Servings: 8
The verdict: This is the last recipe I made for my parents. They rated the appearance and texture a C- and the flavor an A. It wasn’t nearly as good as my mom’s, but I did like how the crust melted in my mouth and the little pockets of custard.

Wouldn’t take my first comment….let’s see if I got all my information. Check.
I was just telling another poster that I love rhubarb and there you are here, as if by magic, with a rhubarb pie recipe. That’s so cool that your parents are your taste testers. I’d love to be a pie tester. That would seriously be a dream come true since I love pie. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome recipe with us today at Woo Hoo! Wednesday.
Too funnny! My coworkers and parents are my taste testers for dessert recipes. DH and I don’t need it all ourselves 🙂
