Default Rhubarb Pie

SWEET'S RHUBARB PIE

Sprinkle 1 Tbs flour and 1 Tbs sugar in bottom of
prepared (uncooked) pie shell
put into pie shell
3 CUPS DICED OR FRESH RHUBARB
In small medium bowl, mix 1 3/4 cup sugar,
3 Rounded Tbs flour
1/4 Tea. salt
Add to this mix, 2 or 3 egg yolks
(depending on if large or small pie pan)
Mix wih fork until crumbled
Sprinkle over rhubarb

Slightly beat whites until foamy, not stiff
Spread on top, making sure to seal edges

Bake 350 degrees
About 45 min.
Sometimes if oven is not as hot as mine, it may be a little runny if not cooked longer. But it's still yummy! Make one sometime and eat the whole thing yourself; Then ask for forgivness.
A little story to go with it: It was my sister's and my Birthday, we had just turned five. Mom always made Rhubarb pie for us besides our Birthday Cake. We were outside playing with all the cousins when I came running in and said I was thirsty. Mom said there was some lemonade in the fridge, so I opened the door, and there, at eye-level was what I thought was a big, cold glass of lemonade. I started gulping it down, when I realized it was really the egg whites waiting to be whipped for the pie! All my aunts fell on the floor in laughter while I puked all over.
