What August???

 Hello Imaginary Friends its been too long!!
Where did May and June go? What I missed July too! It seems the older I get the faster time gets away on me. Spring cleaning done , gardening done, weeding ongoing and my RHUBARB patch!! 
 I love it! My "patch" is a mixture of several different kinds of rhubarb, so when I use it in a recipe I get a blast of sweet and tart flavours. Rhubarb can be used in salsas, sauces, cakes and so much more. Rhubarb muffins are high on my fav list, but my very favourite recipe is Rhubarb Custard Pie.
This is my Momma's recipe for...
 
Rhubarb Custard Pie!!!
 
YUMMY
2 Cups fresh Rhubarb
1 Cup Sugar
2 Tbs Butter
2 Tbs Flour
1 Egg 
 
Crumble Topping:
2 Tbs Sugar
4 Tbs Flour
2 Tbs Butter
Mix dry ingredients together with the butter and egg, Add the rhubarb and mix well. Dump in to a pre prepared crust I usually use a frozen pie crust...but if you have an easy crust recipe use that! I am just too lazy to make one from scratch LOL!! Mix the crumble topping ingredients together and spread over the top of the raw pie. Sometimes I throw some rolled oats in just to make the topping extra crispy. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Place the pie on a cookie sheet on the middle rack of the oven and cook approx 45mins or until golden brown. Let cool and dig in!!! So Enjoy...I can usually eat the whole thing myself! Oh my tummy hurts just thinking about it!
