Let’s get ready for the second round of: Bake Together – Die Backüberraschung! The monthly baking event from “Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte” and “Moi”! ;) It’s hard to believe there is already 4 weeks between the first recipe and now! Well… let’s get to the new one, you probably noticed already – it’s rhubarb pie! :)
Maybe I should explain again for those that haven’t seen the last post – once a month Andrea from www.zimtkeksundapfeltarte.com and me are baking at the same time, having the same topic but everybody makes whatever he/she wants with it – it could be the same or something completely different. We both don’t know what the other one is doing until both recipes are out. Last time the topic was “Strawberry Cheesecake” – I made this Strawberry Ombre Cheesecake (if you want to know more about the event, go to the recipe and you will see) and Andrea made this No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake – both similar recipes without baking, but unique the way they were prepared ;)
So today I have rhubarb pie for you. I am a huge rhubarb fan as you probably know already and I could not resist to make this our topic for today ;) I am honest with you – it is not the most beautiful rhubarb pie you have ever seen – the lattice topping worked out pretty well, but while baking, the edge broke on one side and fell down (did you notice?) ;) I also don’t like the color of the filling that much. Fresh rhubarb looks sooooo good – red and green – but cooked or baked it turns into a brownish mess :( You can add some strawberries or raspberries to the filling to get some color back – unfortunately I had none of those at home on baking day, so it looks not as good as it could. But it still tastes great :P
If you ever get hold of raspberry/strawberry rhubarb – us it – it’s red all the way through and keeps the color much better. Unfortunately I only found it once on a farmers market. Anyways – the pie is not overly sweet, which I like a lot. If your rhubarb is very sour, add some more sugar or leave out the lemon juice – that should help, if you like it sweeter. Just give it a try.
But now to the recipe – I’m out ;) As soon as Andrea postet her recipe, you will find it HERE. Have a nice weekend folks!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
2 1/2 cups (325g) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 cup (230g) cold butter, diced
1 tbsp. cider vinegar
5-6 tbsp. ice water
For the filling:
30 oz. (800g) fresh rhubarb, washed diced
3/4 cup (150g) mascobado sugar
1/2 cup (50g) sugar
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. ground cardamom
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 egg
For the decoration:
1 egg
1 tsp. water
coarse sugar (optional)
325g Mehl (Type 405)
1 EL Zucker
1 TL Salz
230g Butter, in Stücken
1 EL Apfelessig
5-6 EL Eiswasser
Für die Füllung:
800g Rhabarber, gewaschen und gewürfelt
150g Muscovado Zucker
50g Zucker
1/4 TL Piment
1/4 TL Kardamom
1/4 TL gemahlener Ingwer
1/2 TL Salz
2 EL Speisestärke
1/2 EL Zitronensaft
1 Ei
Für die Dekoration:
1 Ei
1 TL Wasser
grober Zucker (optional)
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Grease a 9 inch (23cm) pie dish and set aside. Roll out 1/2 of the dough on a floured surface. Place in the pie dish and press to the bottom and sides – the dough should overlap a bit on the edges. Roll out the remaining dough and cut stripes for the lattice topping. Place in the fridge until needed.
3. Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220°C). Wash the rhubarb, cut off the ends and cut into small pices and add to a large bowl. Mix the sugars, allspice, ground cardamom, ginger, salt and cornstarch in a bowl until well combined. Add to the rhubarb and toss until completely covered with the sugar mixture. Add the lemon juice and egg and mix until well combined. Pour the filling into the pie crust, create a lattice with the dough stripes and seal the edges the way you like it with a nice pattern. Place in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
4. Whisk the egg with the water and brush the pastry and sprinkle with some coarse sugar (optional). Place the pie on the lowest rack of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Reduce the temperature to a 375°F (190°C), move the pie to the rack in the middle of the oven and bake for another 30-35 minutes. The pie should get a nice golden color – if it gets to dark, cover with some aluminum foil. Take out of the oven and let cool down for 2-3 hours on a wire rack. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and store leftovers in the fridge.
2. Eine 23cm (9 inch) Pie-Form einfetten und zur Seite stellen. Etwa die Hälfte des Teiges auf einer bemehlten Fläche ausrollen und dann in die Form legen und an die Ränder drücken. Der Teig sollte dabei etwas über die Form überlappen. Den restlichen Teig ebenfalls ausrollen und dann in Streifen für das Gittermuster ausschneiden. Alles bis zur weiteren Verwendung in den Kühlschrank stellen.
3. Den Ofen auf 220°C (425°F) vorheizen. Den Rhabarber waschen, die Enden abschneiden und in kleine Stücke schneiden. Die beiden Zuckersorten mit Piment, Kardamom, Ingwer, Salz und Speisestärke in einer großen Schüssel mischen und den Rhabarber darin schwenken. Zitronensaft und Ei zugeben und alles gut vermischen. Die Füllung in die Pie-Form schütten und das Gittermuster darauf konstruieren. Den Rand zusammendrücken und mit einem schönen Muster verzieren. Für etwa 10 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.
4. Ei mit etwas Wasser verquirlen und damit den Teig bestreichen, mit dem groben Zucker bestreuen (optional) und auf der untersten Schiene des Ofens für 20-25 Minuten backen. Die Temperatur auf 190°C (375°F) reduzieren und den Kuchen jetzt in der Mitte des Ofens platzieren. Für weitere 30-35 Minuten backen. Der Kuchen/Pie sollte eine schöne goldbraune Farbe bekommen haben – sollte er beim Backen zu dunkel werden, einfach mit Alufolie abdecken. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und für 2-3 Stunden abkühlen lassen. Mit Schlagsahne oder Vanilleeis servieren und Reste im Kühlschrank aufbewahren.

Instructions
- Add the flour, sugar and salt to a large bowl and mix. Add the butter in small pices and toss, so the butter get’s covered with the flour. Cut the butter into pea-size pieces by using a pastry blender or knife. Mix the vinegar with the ice water (e.g. in a small glass) and add 1-2 tablespoons at a time and rub into the flour mixture with your fingers until the dough comes together – if there are still some dry spots it’s ok. Form into a ball, flatten a bit and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour (up to two days).
