I used to have a really great recipe for rhubarb pie out of the old “Workbasket” magazine, with 3 eggs, but I have lost track of it, and this is the closest I can find
Old Fashioned Rhubarb Custard Pie
Ingredients
3 cups rhubarb , chopped
1 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
single pie crust
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place chopped rhubarb in a bowl and pour hot water over it and let it sit for 5 minutes. Drain.
Pour rhubarb in the pie crust, sprinkle flour over the top and set aside. In a large bowl mix together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt.
Pour mixture over rhubarb and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
Reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 30 to 45 minutes or until the custard is firm.
Recipe Notes
Cool before serving.
I will keep looking for my old recipe...
It seems like maybe it had brown sugar in it, and would make a crusty layer on top.
I like tapioca in my rhubarb pie
She has made pies for me for the past 61 years, but never this one... At least I don't think so... At 87, there are some things I may have forgotten...
