Directions
In Wien, the elderflower blossoms in late May. Huge bushes with clusters of scented white flowers appear in each and every park and yard. Their blossoms are used for the syrup, which is extremely popular here. It is added to pastry, lemonades, cocktails. The today’s most fashionable summer cocktail Hugo is made from elderflower syrup.
The elderflower season tallies with the rhubarb season, so their combination for a pie is ideal.
Try this fluffy and sweet pie with sour notes of the rhubarb and fragrant sweetness of the elderflower syrup, which the pie is soaked with.
Delicious! 🙂

Take the pie out of the oven. While the pie is still hot, coat the surface with elderflower syrup. Pour the syrup into a bowl or a cup, take a pastry brush and, dipping it into the syrup, spread it on the surface of the pie. The syrup absorbs very quickly, so as soon as it has absorbed, coat the pie again. Continue until all the syrup has been absorbed. Then let the pie cool completely. |
