Ingredients

• 2 cups rhubarb
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup milk
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Trim and chop the rhubarb into small, bite-sized pieces and spread it evenly on the bottom of the prepared pie dish.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the salt and mix well.

Step 4

In another larger bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Step 5

Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no lumps remain. The batter should be smooth and pourable.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly over the rhubarb in the pie dish, ensuring all the rhubarb is covered by the batter.

Step 7

Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature. As it cools, a soft crust will form on the edges and bottom, creating the 'impossible' pie effect.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle a dusting of ground cinnamon over the top before serving for extra flavor.

Step 10

Slice and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
