My dear neighbor and amazing gardener asked me if I would like some Kale….. I would never turn down Kale, so off I went to see how his garden beds are doing. I am so impressed by how beautiful his beds look, tomatoes, kale, squash, and look over there! I spotted 2 beautiful Rhubarb plants! I asked if I could cut a couple stalks, I have some wonderful rhubarb recipes that I have been wanting to try.

I quickly came home and chose a Rhubarb Custard Pie recipe that sounded wonderful. My son’s birthday is tomorrow and he always asks for Birthday Pie.

I didn’t make my own crust this time, but here is my recipe for the best flakiest home made crust.

Bake the pie on the lower-middle rack of the oven at 450° F. for 10 minutes. Lower the heat to 350° F. and continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes more, until the filling starts to bubble.

Let cool completely before serving. Serve room temperature or chilled.
