McHenrey Rhubarb Pie

3 cups fresh or frozen rhubarb
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
2 tsp. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2  cup sour cream
Pastry for 2 crust pie

Slice rhubarb in half inch slices.  Mix together with remaining ingredients and pour into unbaked pie crust. Top with second crust.  Cut steam holes in top crust. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon and sugar.  Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.

This is a favorite North Dakota pie made at a small cafe in McHenry, about 20 miles from my home town of Sutton.  It's the only place to eat out for miles around and is owned by the people of the town who support it so that there will be a gathering place as well as a place for townspeople to eat.  When we were in North Dakota in the 80s, Uncle Mel took us there for pancakes (and a piece of Rhubarb pie) for breakfast.
