Rhubarb Custard Pie I Food

RHUBARB & CUSTARD PIE WITH BUTTER CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Cut the rhubarb into bite-size pieces, then put them in a frying pan with half the sugar and warm through just until the sugar dissolves. Immediately tip the rhubarb into a bowl with the juices and leave to cool. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C.
• Roll out the pastry quite thinly and use to line a deep, loose-based 24cm fluted flan tin. Line with greaseproof paper and baking beans and bake for about 20 minutes until the pastry is pale golden and no longer raw.
• Beat together the egg and egg yolk, vanilla extract, remaining caster sugar and the flour. Gradually whisk in the cream with any juice from the rhubarb (you should have a tablespoonful or two). Now spoon the rhubarb into the prepared pastry case and pour the cream mixture over.
• Turn the oven temperature up to 200C/gas 6/ fan 180C and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the custard is very lightly set and there is a thin skin on the top.
• Mix together all the topping ingredients and spoon evenly over the pie. Return it to the oven for a further 15 minutes or until the crumble is golden and the custard set with just a little wobble. The top of the pie may have risen and cracked when you take it from the oven but don't worry as it will settle back again on cooling. Serve warm.

CLASSIC RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE (WITH CRUST RECIPE)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar, if using. Whisk to blend thoroughly.
• Add the butter, working it into the flour mixture with your fingers or a pastry blender. Some pea-sized pieces of butter should remain intact.
• Stir in 4 tablespoons of ice water. Add more ice water, about 1 teaspoon at a time, until mixture begins to hold together.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press until a smooth dough has formed. Do not overwork or the crust will be tough.
• Shape into a flattened disk. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400 F. On a lightly floured work surface, or between sheets of lightly floured parchment, roll the dough into a circle about 11-inches in diameter.
• Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate. Fold any excess dough over on itself and crimp the edge as desired.
• In a large bowl, toss together the rhubarb, sugar, flour, nutmeg, and salt.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with milk.
• Add the egg mixture to the rhubarb mixture, stirring until blended.
• Transfer the rhubarb mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot with butter.
• Bake until set in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. If your crust begins to brown too much, cover the edges with foil.
• Remove the pie to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
• Serve the rhubarb-custard pie with a big dollop of freshly whipped cream or ready-made whipped topping, if desired.

RHUBARB & CUSTARD SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Put the flour, icing sugar, butter and ½ tsp salt in a food processor, and blend until combined. Add the egg yolks and 2 tsp cold water, then blitz again until the dough starts to form clumps around the blade. Tip onto your work surface and knead briefly to bring the dough together. Remove about a third of the dough, shape both pieces into discs and wrap. Chill for at least 30 mins. Alternatively, mix the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl and work in the butter with your fingertips before adding the yolks and water.
• Mix the custard powder and 75g of the sugar with 100ml of the milk to make a smooth paste. Warm the rest of the milk in a saucepan. Pour the warm milk over the custard powder mix, stir and pour back into the pan with the vanilla. Heat until you have a really thick custard. Transfer to a bowl, cover to prevent a skin forming, and chill for at least 30 mins or until cold.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put a baking sheet on the middle shelf. Toss the rhubarb, cornflour and remaining 125g sugar together in a bowl. Roll out the larger of the two pieces of dough on a lightly floured surface, to a rectangle large enough to line the base and sides of a 25 x 35cm shallow baking tin, about ½cm thick. Lift the dough over your rolling pin and drape into the tin, leaving any excess hanging over the edges. Stir the set custard and spread over the pastry base. Top with the rhubarb, in neat lines or randomly, and scatter any sugary bits over the top.
• Roll out the smaller piece of pastry until large enough to cover the top of the pie. You can either cover the pie completely, leaving a few holes for the steam to escape, or create a decorative topping. When you're happy with your design, brush the top with beaten egg and scatter over the 1 tbsp caster sugar. Place the tin on the tray on the middle shelf and bake for 40-45 mins, until the pastry is deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This pie is best served at room temperature or just warm, so leave to cool for at least 1½ hrs before slicing.

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour, roll out pate brisee to an 11-inch round (about 1/8-inch thick). Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, and trim edges of dough with kitchen shears to a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold edges under, and press to seal using the tines of a fork. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Line crust with parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides. Fill completely with pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake until bottom is dry, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove weights and parchment. Continue baking until bottom of crust is golden, 7 to 9 minutes more. Let cool.
• In a bowl, toss rhubarb with 1/4 cup sugar. Let stand 10 minutes. In another bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1 1/4 cup sugar, eggs, butter, and heavy cream until smooth and combined.
