How to Make Rhubarb Custard Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  4. Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the beaten eggs until completely smooth.
  5. Gently fold in 4 cups sliced rhubarb.
  6. Roll out one 9-inch pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate.
  7. Pour the rhubarb custard filling into the prepared pie crust.
  8. Roll out the second 9-inch pie crust and cut into 1-inch strips. Arrange the strips over the filling to create a lattice top.
  9. Dot the top crust with 2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
  10. 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 aluminum foil.
  11. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
