How to Make Irene S Rhubarb Custard Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the rhubarb: Place 4 cups chopped rhubarb in a bowl and cover with 1 cup boiling water. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  3. While rhubarb steeps, prepare the custard: In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup all-purpose flour until just combined.
  5. Drain the rhubarb well and gently stir it into the custard batter.
  6. Pour the custard mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  7. Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cut in ¼ cup (½ stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until crumbly.
  8. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the custard filling.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  10. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
