For all the children (and their daddies...),
Make your mummies happy,
By baking this so easy...recipe!
1 short crust pastry – 450g of fresh rhubarb
(peeled and diced) – 2 egg yolks – 100g of caster sugar + 50g – 1 vanilla clove
– 20cl of crème fraiche (d’Isigny for me) - 2 egg whites – 150g of icing sugar.
In a pan, fry the
rhubarb in a little bit of butter, 50g of sugar and the vanilla clove.
Cook for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven
to 200° C.
Butter and line a
round tin pie.
Unfold and place
the short crust pasty into the tin.
Prick bottom of
pastry thoroughly with fork.
In a bowl, mix
together the yolks, sugar and crème fraiche.
Place the rhubarb
over the pastry and pour the crème mixture over.
Bake for 25
minutes.
Meanwhile, with a
food processor using the whip, beat the whites for 2 minutes.
Add gradually and
slowly the icing sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
When the pie is
cooked, distribute the meringue evenly over the top.
Put the meringue
pie back in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
Voila!
