Step 1 Making the Crust

To make the pie crust from scratch you will need...

2 1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 c. Butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/2 c. Ice Water

Make sure that every thing you use is as cold as possible. (flour and Salt excluded)

I mixed mine in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment,and I put the bowl and paddle in the freezer about 2 hours before I started.

The crust can be done by hand with a pastry blender or a fork and some patience.

didn't u add some egg yolk for make it shiny?

[deqwer]

Adding egg not only makes the dough shiny it also makes the butter and the flour mix together well.if you didn't add the egg after a few hours the butter melt of from the flour

what a great pie!!! i'd love to try it! But i'm brazilian and we do have ruhbarbs, do you know something i could put in th e place of the ruhbarb?

[AFM528]

I'm not sure what you could substitute that is available in Brazil. Rhubarb is like bitter celery. The leaves are poisonous, I think. It's like artichoke in that it's only palatable after you boil it for a while and then add something to it, which is sugar in the case of rhubarb. But I like it! Good luck finding a substitute.

apple is brilliant.

[andy]

Specifically, cooking apples would be advisable - they are more tart and retain some crunch after cooked.
