Spiced rhubarb pie
Description
It pairs perfectly with tea and coffee. The pie can be baked in any pan, but if you're not very confident, grease it with butter and dust it with flour or breadcrumbs. Sugar on the surface of the pie forms a crisp, brittle crust, but if you don't like it, simply sprinkle the finished, cooled pie with powdered sugar. You can choose spices to your taste; ready‑made gingerbread spice mixes work great for it. It can be served with tea or coffee.
