Rub the sifted flour and 1/3 of the butter together, add the cognac, the water, the egg and the baking powder. Work into a cohesive dough.
Beat the rest of the butter in with the rolling pin, letting it rest 3 times for 1/4 hour, and roll out again as for ordinary puff pastry.
In an omelette dish with a raised rim, lay cleaned rhubarb cut into rather large pieces, sprinkled in layers with sugar, but the sugar must not lie on top nearest the puff pastry. The rhubarb must be piled high in the dish, heaped up.
Roll the puff pastry out thick, brush the rim of the dish with cold water, and around the rim lay a strip of puff pastry and press it lightly in place. Use the rest of the dough as a lid. Before laying on the lid, moisten the puff pastry rim with a little cold water.
Once the lid is laid on and pressed down, hold the dish in the left hand and cut away the excess with the right. With the back of the knife, cut the puff pastry rim a little, so that the edge rises well. Make scallops around the rim.
Cut a hole in the middle of the lid so the steam can escape. Roll a little of the dough out thinner, cut into pointed four-sided shapes, mark with the back of a knife with veins like a leaf, and set five in a ring in the middle of the dish.
Brush the pie with beaten egg; the rim must not be brushed, or it will not rise. The dish bakes in a good hot oven for 3/4 hour.
NB. Any other fruit may be used, such as apples, pears, plums; the fruit is peeled and halved. Rhubarb leaves are used for sourness, but the leaves must then be blanched. Serve with fried fish and cured foods.
