Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg yolk and add ice water a tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- For the frangipane, blend the finely ground pistachios with sugar, softened butter, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out your chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spread the pistachio frangipane evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a two-inch border around the edges. Arrange the sliced rhubarb on top.
- Gently fold the edges of the dough toward the center, partly covering the filling. Brush the exposed edges with an egg wash. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling.
