Hannele's Berry Pie (Marjapiiras)

My cousin in Finland gave my Mother this recipe.  Pie crusts are very different over there, as you can tell from my previous post.  You could use the same blueberry filling from the previous post or use this yummy rhubarb & strawberry one below.  The Finns use less sugar, so adjust according to your tastebuds:)

Hannele's Berry Pie (Marjapiiras)
1 cup melted margarine
1.5 cups sugar
3 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
*2 eggs

*Before putting in the eggs, take out about 3/4-1 cup of the mix for crumbs to be sprinkled on top.
Cut up rhubarb and slice strawberries. Sprinkle with sugar. May use raspberries or blueberries too.
Pour batter into 2 greased quiche pans. Sprinkle fruit or berries over batter. Sprinkle with sugar and crumbs.  
Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes.
