Delicious Rhubarb-Recipes that Burst With Flavour



Pie is what I associate rhubarb-recipes with the most. I think most people do. What else could there possibly be?

Well, the assortment of choices are practically endless.

There are cakes, muffins, cookies, pies (of course), squares, bars, mousse, even drinks, just to name a few.

From whichever assortment you choose from, I am sure you will not be disappointed. I hope you will be encouraged and inspired to try new rhubarb-recipes you may have never considered.

Back to the pie....

I think the pastry is everything.

No sense having a superb filling, but can hardly swallow the crust. Sure ruins a great thing.

Such has been my experience....rhubarb-recipe or otherwise. I just could not get that pastry right, no matter what. Terribly disappointed in the results many times over.

Thankyou FINALLY to my Mom Beth for her Never Fail pastry recipe.

If it is a pie you would like to make with your rhubarb, use this recipe for your dough!

For any assortment of pies or tarts that you need pastry for, this is the one to use. I PROMISE! It is light, flakey, and does NOT fail.

The great thing too, is that this makes enough for more than one pie crust. And of course, this pastry freezes well until you need it. No more messy kitchen counter.

The dough is simply divided and flattened into discs. You have at least 5 generous single pie crusts, each individually wrapped and frozen. This is wonderful. Such a time-saver obviously.

Speaking of family recipes, wish you had a way to preserve them?

Never Fail Pastry



Sift Together: 5 cups all-purpose flour,1 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt.

When making this pastry, add 1 pound of whatever shortening you have available.

Cut in with your hands until you get a coarse meal type mixture.

Break 1 egg into an 8 oz. measuring cup. Add 3 tbsp. of white vinegar and stir. Fill the cup with milk (makes pie crusts extra tasty) to make 1 cup. Let this sit while you are mixing the dry ingredients.

Tip: As with any rhubarb-recipes, you should be draining your frozen rhubarb thoroughly while you are making the pastry.

Mix the liquid into the dry ingredients all at once and toss with a fork to moisten. Gather up into a couple of large chunks. Divide this chunk into 5 even balls and flatten into discs.

This will make 5 single pie crusts. Wrap the discs separately in wax paper and then again in clear plastic wrap.

Put the pastry discs into one plastic bag and freeze. I use a bread bag.

Thaw the pie crust overnight in the fridge for the next day when you know you will be baking. The microwave works too, but in the fridge is better.

For a great rhubarb pie, do try this recipe. You will be happy with the results.

This dough is very easy to work with, and the taste of the pastry is fantastic. If you are making your own dough for the first time, take a look at the video.



Now that you know how to make a great pastry, try your hand at an assortment of wonderful rhubarb-recipes for pies.
