Fool Pie

I was hit by the unstoppable desire to bake something, and after reading raves and raves about a certain raspberry brown butter tart on the interweb, I gave it a go. Only to discover that it is not really a great recipe. The crust is amazing but the filling is only just so-so. Ok, kinda gooey, but overall barely worth the calories. But the crust! Crispy and buttery and --best of all-- so so so easy to make. You melt some butter, add some flour and sugar and press into a tart pan.

So I made the crust again on Saturday, baked it through (empty) and filled it with rhubarb fool. It's pretty well curtains on the rhubarb season, and this seemed a fitting finale. Three of us killed the whole pie in one sitting.
