Although it’s ideal to serve these squares warm, they are equally good served at room temperature or chilled. Leftovers should be refrigerated.
8 Servings
Crust:
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup butter
Filling:
2 cups sliced rhubarb
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 egg yolks
1 egg
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
Nutmeg
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Spray a shallow 9 x 7 x 2" or 8 x 8 x 2" glass casserole dish with non-stick spray; set aside.
- Crust: place flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in food processor and pulse to mix; add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Alternately, place the ingredients except butter in a mixing bowl; cut the butter into pieces and cut it in with a pastry blender.
- Pat the mixture evenly over the bottom of the baking dish (it will be crumbly and will not hold together – this is as it should be).
- Scatter the rhubarb slices evenly over the crust; sprinkle the brown sugar over the rhubarb.
- Whizz (blender or food processor) or whisk the egg yolks, whole egg, and whipping cream; pour over the rhubarb.
- Grate a little nutmeg over the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and let sit 15 minutes.
