Ingredients:
Quantity | Ingredient |
---|---|
2 | Eggs |
2 cups | Milk |
2 cups | Sugar |
1/2 cup | Flour |
1 tsp | Vanilla Extract |
4 cups | Fresh Rhubarb |
Directions:
-
Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). This ensures that it’s perfectly hot and ready when you’re done preparing your pie.
-
Prepare Pie Crust: Line your 9-inch pie plate with your favorite pastry crust and crimp the edges attractively. This will provide a delicious base for your pie.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a smooth custard mixture.
-
Fill Pie Crust: Pour the prepared custard mixture into the pastry-lined pie plate, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
-
Bake First Stage: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. This initial high heat will help set the crust and start the cooking process.
-
Reduce Heat: After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 300ยฐF (150ยฐC). This lower temperature allows the custard to cook gently and evenly without over-browning the crust.
-
Continue Baking: Bake the pie for an additional 50 to 60 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent overcooking.
-
Cooling: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack to room temperature. This allows the custard to set further and makes it easier to slice.
-
Serve: Once cooled, slice the pie into generous portions and serve it as is or topped with a dollop of freshly whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
