For the crust you will need: 2 cups flour, 1 cup shortening, 4 tablespoons ice water
Preheat oven to 350. Cut in shortening to flour with pastry blender. Pour in 1 tablespoon ice water, continue to add ice water until when you squeeze it stays together. Put dough in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
For the filling you will need: 1 egg, 1/2 cup cream, 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, pinch of nutmeg, 3 cups chopped rhubarb
While your pie dough is cooling, mix together sugar, flour and nutmeg in a large bowl. In another bowl mix egg, cream and milk. Pour the liquid mixture into the large bowl with the rhubarb. Set aside.
Take pie dough out of refrigerator, roll out to fit in pie pan. After the pie crust is in the pan crimp the edges so that the crust is completley even. Pour in filling and bake at 350 for 1 hour or until edges are slightly browned.
