    Recipe Introduction


    The fruit and sugar boils out around the sides of this, resulting in a gooey, syrupy cake which is a heavenly treat. The scone dough is quicker to make than pastry and absorbs the lovely juices better.

    List of Ingredients




    Country Rhubarb Cake


    Scone dough
    12oz all purpose flour
    1tsp baking soda
    pinch salt
    2oz sugar
    3oz butter
    1 egg
    12 fl oz buttermilk

    Filling
    1lb rhubarb, roughly chopped
    7-9oz sugar
    white of 1 egg, whisked
    caster sugar to dust

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to gas 350°F, and grease a 10 inch deep pie dish. Put flour, baking soda,salt & sugar into a mixing bowl & rub in butter. In another bowl, beat the egg with the buttermilk and gradually add this to the flour until a dough is formed, adding a little more milk if necessary. Knead lightly on a floured surface and divide into two. Roll out one half and use it to line the pie dish. Fill the dish with the rhubarb and sprinkle with the sugar. Roll the remaining dough to form a pastry lid. Brush the rim of the pastry base with water and put on the lid. Glaze with the whisked egg white and sprinkle with caster sugar. Make steam slits in the lid and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned and the fruit is soft.

    This pie is also delicious if made with apples.
