This is my husband's favourite pie, it is especially good made with the early spring rhubarb. I can hardly wait for it to grow!
Rhubarb Custard Pie
4 cups rhubarb
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
3 eggs
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Mix the eggs, flour, sugar and nutmeg together. Add rhubarb. Pour into a bottom pie crust and dot with 2 tbsp butter. Top with a lattice crust, or one with holes cut out. I like to brush it with milk then sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake at 400* for about 50 minutes.
I have another really good recipe for a rhubarb dessert that I will post here too. It is really easy and serves a lot of people.
