This is definitely my favorite rhubarb bar, received from my mother (of course) back in the 80's. The powdered sugar crust melts in your mouth, and the topping has this wonderful almost meringue-like layer (I tried to capture it in the picture). Thi... More

Ingredients
  • Crust:
  • 1 cup flour
  • heaping ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup butter, softened in the microwave almost to melting point
  • Filling:
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups finely chopped rhubarb

Directions
  1. Cream together all crust ingredients - dough will be stiff.
  2. Press dough into a 7x11 pan (I use a glass pan for that additional browning effect).
  3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
  4. While crust is baking, prepare filling.
  5. Beat eggs, and then add sugar, flour and salt.
  6. Gently stir in rhubarb; spoon filling carefully over hot crust.
  7. Bake for an additional 35 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Mornin' Krum, gotta love your Mom, I haven't had rhubarb pie for years, these sound wonderful, with the powdered sugar. Might have to try this one.
I do have to tell you the last batch of aebleskivers turned out wonderful (it was my spice)I think it just dyed on the shelf. I'm ready for the toss-up!
PS A beauty flag for you on this one!!!!


Mmmmm...these really do look and sound like the ultimate rhubarb bars! So saving this recipe and can't wait to try it!


These sound really good. Can always use a new recipe to use up that rhubarb. Thanks Krum!


Thanks I have it printed for my rhubarb recipes.


Your pictures are great! I can really see the rhubarb.


Great post, love anything with rhubarb. You have my 5


Love it! I varied step one to ensure a short crust - pulsed flour, sugar and hard butter in food processor to fine crumbs - then pressed into pan. Also, I sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on top before baking. Amazing results - the squares disappeared very quickly!!
