Grandma Rampkes Easy Rhubarb Custard Pie Recipes

GRANDMA RAMPKE'S EASY RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• Place 1/2 pie crust into pie plate.
• Put the rhubarb in the crust and cover with 1/2 cup sugar.
• Add the other 1/2 cup sugar to the milk and beaten eggs, and pour mixture over rhubarb.
• Sprinkle top with cinnamon.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes; let cool before serving to allow custard to set.
• Note from Julie: this was my dad's favorite pie, and my mom got the recipe from his mother.
• Note, again: I've been on the 'net for a very, very long time, and this is one of the earliest recipes that I submitted to any search engines. What I can say: it's a tried and true recipe, one we've been using for well over 50 years. It's what my mom will be serving at Christmas this year... what else can I say?

GRANDMA'S RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Separate egg yolks and egg whites. Set egg whites aside for meringue.
• Place rhubarb into the prepared pie crust. Mix sugar, evaporated milk, 3 egg yolks, flour, and salt for filling together in a bowl. Pour mixture over rhubarb. Place pie onto a cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Turn oven temperature down to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake for 30 minutes more. Remove pie from the oven. Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Beat the reserved egg whites for meringue in another bowl until frothy. Slowly add sugar, salt, and cream of tartar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Spread over the baked pie.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
