The Drunk Baker’s, our cocktail and baking dynamos Allison Kave and Keavy Landreth of Butter & Scotch, are back with a new summery pie. Rhubarb’s tart, slightly vegetal flavor is complex and beautiful when combined with the nutty richness of buttery frangipane, which is normally made with almonds and used as the base of classic French fruit tarts. Here, they swap the almonds for pistachios, and layer a fluffy pillow of this creamy concoction at the bottom of an all-butter piecrust to absorb the sweet-tart juices of the rhubarb. It’s the perfect hit of vibrant flavor you crave when the world starts to bloom again.
6. Lemon Thyme and Blackberry Hand Pies
For Nashville, Tennessee pastry chef Lisa Donovan’s blackberry hand pies, jammy blackberries are simmered in lemon and thyme-scented syrup for an herbal, bright flavor.
This Maine Blueberry Pie is made with the freshest blueberries—and not much else! We’d happily eat this one morning, noon, and night.
8. Spicy Green Tomato Hand Pies
These hand pies created by chef Lisa Donovan meld tangy unripe tomatoes, spicy jalapeños, and mild honey into one dynamic filling. The resulting hand pie takes on both sweet and savory notes, similar to pepper jelly.
I’m looking for a recipe for a rhubarb pie with a sour cream topping. My Grandma used to make it and she called it a Bavarian style rhubarb pie. Any ideas where I can find a recipe like this?
Mary,
Thank you for reaching out! We have lots of recipes with rhubarb like our:
Rhubarb Pistachio Pie, Rhubarb and Brown Butter Tartlets Rhubarb and Almond Tart( and more!). We do not have any with a sour cream topping, but hopefully these will help. Happy Baking!
What about a good strawberry Rhubarb pie? I made one recently which was extremely tart with rhubarb and you couldn’t take the strawberry. Not a hit as my family really likes more strawberry with a hint of Rhubarb. Help?
