MINI STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIES IN MUFFIN TINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out three pie crust (into 12-inch rounds) onto a flat surface. Using a large cookie cutter or any circular lid, cut out a 4-inch circle of dough. Press each dough circle into the bottom of a muffin tin cup, keeping the top edge of the dough flush with the top of the muffin tin. Repeat with remaining dough to fill all 12 muffin cups.
• Use the remaining dough to create a top lattice crust to cover each pie: use a knife or pizza cutter to cut out ½-inch x 3¼-inch thin strips of dough and set aside. (I gathered the smaller dough scraps together, added about a teaspoon of water and formed a ball of dough. Then dusted it with flour and rolled it out and cut it into strips for the rest of the lattice top.)
• In a large mixing bowl, add rhubarb, strawberries, raw sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt; toss to coat.
• Fill each cup with1/3 cup pie filling.
• Weave the dough strips together to form a lattice top on each pie. Use your fingers to gently connect the lattice crust onto each pie where it meets. (Or for an even quicker topping option mix up a crumble topping like this one.)
• Beat the egg with 1 tsp. water in a small bowl and lightly brush over the top of the dough, then sprinkle with raw sugar.
• Bake 23-25 minutes at 400 degrees. The filling should be bubbling and the crust golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15-20 minutes. Then very carefully loosen the edges of each pie with a knife, and gently lift out from the muffin tin. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.

WINNIE'S MINI RHUBARB & STRAWBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Place tapioca in a small food processor or spice grinder; process until finely ground., In a large saucepan, combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, orange zest, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, tapioca and, if desired, food coloring; bring to a boil.

On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough to an 18-in. circle. Cut 12 circles with a 4-in. biscuit cutter, rerolling scraps as necessary; press crust onto bottom and up sides of ungreased muffin cups. Repeat with remaining dough, cutting 6 more circles. Spoon strawberry mixture into muffin cups., Bake until filling is bubbly and crust golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool. If desired, serve with whipped cream.

FRESH RHUBARB PIE

• Place pie on lowest rack in oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

INDIVIDUAL RHUBARB PIES

Steps:

• For the dough combine butter, flour sugar and salt using the dough hooks of your mixer until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water little by little until a dough forms. Knead shortly, roll into a ball and refrigerate wrappe in cling film for 1 hour.
• For the filling combine rhubarb, honey, sugar, nuts and vanilla pudding powder.
• Divide dough into four equal portions. On a lightly floured surface roll out each of them into a circle of about 16 cm in diameter. Place on a paper-lined baking sheet and top with filling leaving a rim. Then take the edges of the crust and fold over the filling so that a "pie" forms (see pic). Brush crust with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar to taste.
• If you have leftover filling, just use it in a crumble or another rhubarb recipe of your choice.
• Bake in the preheated oven 200°C/400°F on the second lowest rack for 25-30 minutes.

RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• To make the crust: Have all of your ingredients ready and chilled. Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a food processor. Add the butter and lard. Use the food processor to work the butter and lard into the flour. Work the fats into the flour until it starts to stick together when squeezed, but you want to keep some of the fat in pea-size pieces. If it is too soft and it won't stay in pieces, place the bowl in the freezer for about 15 minutes and then try again.
• Whisk the egg, add it along with the water and vinegar to the flour/lard mixture. Stir this with your hand or a wooden spoon, but be very gentle. The goal is to keep the pea-size chunks of fat intact. It will start to look shaggy and not dry. It should hold together when you squeeze it in your hand. Gently knead the dough into a ball. Divide the dough into two pieces and create round disks. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F with the rack on the bottom shelf.
• In a large bowl, toss together the rhubarb, cherries, sugar, cornstarch and spices. Roll out one of the circles of dough and drape it into the pie plate. Place the filling in the pie shell. Break the butter up into several pieces and put it over the filling.
• Weave the lattice over the top. Crimp the edges. Brush the top with egg wash.
• Sprinkle generously with sugar.
• Place the pie on a baking sheet, just in case the juices bubble over.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F, bake until the juices are bubbling and translucent, and the fruit is very soft. This can take up to 1 1/2 hours. If the top crust starts to get too much color, tent the pie loosely with foil.
• Allow the pie to cool so the juices set enough to cut the pie.
• Enjoy with ice cream.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust. Combine the flour, salt and butter in a large bowl. Gently cut the butter into the flour using 2 sharp knives in a crisscross motion until the butter is about the size of small peas. (The lighter the hand, the flakier the crust.) Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup ice water and fold into the mixture with a fork until the dough comes together-you want to work the dough as little as possible. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too dry. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide into 2 balls. Form each into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, trim the rhubarb and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Hull the strawberries and slice. Combine the rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and lemon juice in a large bowl; toss.
• Prepare the bottom crust. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out 1 disk of dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch round. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin, then carefully unroll it over a 9-inch pie plate. Gently press the dough into the plate with your fingers. Add the strawberry-rhubarb filling. Do not trim the overhanging dough.
• Make the lattice. Roll out the remaining disk of dough into a 12-inch round. With an old-fashioned crimper, sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into 1-inch-wide strips. Lay about half of the strips on the pie in one direction, about 1/2 inch apart. Fold back every other strip halfway. Lay a strip perpendicular to the first ones. Unfold the strips back over the new strip, then fold alternate strips back halfway. Add another perpendicular strip; unfold the strips back over it. Repeat to form a lattice. Pinch the overhanging top and bottom crusts together, trimming as needed, then fold the dough under itself and crimp with your fingers.
• Bake the pie. Using your fingers, pat the lattice top with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Put the pie on a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Bake 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, 50 more minutes. Let cool completely before slicing.

RHUBARB STREUSEL PIE

Steps:

• Roll out the pastry and use to line a deep 23cm/9in flan tin. Chop the rhubarb into 3cm/1in lengths and tip into a large bowl with the flour and sugar. Mix well, then tip into the pastry case, spreading the rhubarb to level it.
• To make the topping, mix together the flour, cinnamon, sugar and nuts. Add the butter, cut into small pieces, and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the rhubarb. Set aside until ready to bake, up to 6 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5/fan oven 170C. Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes until the topping is crisp and golden and the rhubarb is tender - test by spearing a piece of fruit through the topping with a knife. Serve warm or cold with single cream or vanilla ice cream.

RHUBARB PIE - SINGLE CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat butter in microwave oven in a 4-cup microwave-safe measuring cup until melted but not hot, about 1 minute. Beat eggs, sugar, and flour into butter with a fork until smooth. Spread the rhubarb into the unbaked pie crust and pour the liquid ingredients over the rhubarb.
• Bake pie in the preheated oven until the filling is lightly browned, about 45 minutes.
