here is an alternative to tailfeathers pie, there are as many recipe for this pie as ther are rhubarbs growing. I know his pie would be wonderful, but I'm diabetic so I have to watch out for me, thanks for letting me hijack your thread. .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
I have an old recipe from my Aunt Ellie..she made the best pies, she's gone now but I got a few recipes from her..
she also made her own pie crusts. This is not a cream rhubarb pie.
Aunt Ellie's Rhubarb Pie
3 cups rhubarb cut in 1/2 inch pieces in pie crust
2 eggs beaten
1 - 1 1/4 cups sugar depending on how sour
3 tbs. flour
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
2 tbs. melted butter
pinch salt
put rhubarb in pie crust and mix and pour mix over top and bake at 375º for 40 – 50 minutes. Pie will puff up when done..and not jiggle.
I prefer a graham cracker crust. so easy and can be doubles or tripled.
Graham Cracker Crust
1 ½ cups finely crushed regular or cinnamon graham crackers (24 squares)
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar
small pinch of salt
9-inch glass pie plate
Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, stir all ingredients until well mixed. Reserve 3 tablespoons crumb mixture for garnishing top of pie before serving, if desired. Press remaining mixture firmly and evenly against bottom and side of pie plate. Bake about 10 minutes or until light brown; cool on cooling rack. Fill as directed in pie recipe.
