1. In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
3. In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and dot with butter.
4. Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges, and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with an egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Let the pie cool before slicing and serving.
Comments & Ratings
This pie was absolutely perfect! The tartness of the rhubarb balanced beautifully with the sweet filling.
A classic pie that reminds me of my grandmother's recipe. Delicious!
The crust was flaky and the filling was just the right amount of sweet. A great dessert for springtime.
