I have not been buying a lot of butter lately because of the cost. $2.40 to $2.90 per pound is pretty pricey. We enjoyed BLT's and corn on the cob yesterday for dinner so therefore butter was a must for the corn. It was a great dinner for a hot day. Since Guy got the butter at Costco we have 4#! Today I could not help my self, there is butter in the house.... let's bake! I threw together a rhubarb custard pie and a blueberry coffee cake for mom's group on Thursday. The pie is a recipe from Granny Eva, the wonderful baker our Eva was named after.
Rhubarb Custard Pie
2 recipes of pie crust
4 c. 1/2 pieces of rhubarb
1/3 c. flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 t nutmeg
2 eggs, beaten
1 T milk
Put rhubarb in unbaked pie shell.
Mix dry, mix wet, and mix together well. Pour over rhubarb. Then dot with 1 T butter.
Seal the top with second pie crust. Bake 400 for 50-60 min.
This gets soggy if done to far ahead of time so make it fresh. Enjoy!
Jean's Pie Crust
1 c. flour
1/2 t salt
1/2 c cold butter, cut up
1 egg
1 T vinegar
6 T cold water
Cut fat into flour and salt.
Blend wet, and add one tablespoon at a time until it just holds together. Form into disc and refridge until chilled.
For 2 pie crust- double fat and flour but there is enough liquid you don't have to double.
