Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups diced fresh rhubarb
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for custard)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for custard)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour and ½ cup of sugar. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the custard filling. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 cup of sugar, ¼ cup of flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Stir in the diced rhubarb and mix until the rhubarb is well coated with the egg mixture.
- Once the crust has baked, remove it from the oven and pour the custard mixture over the crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and slightly golden on top. Let it cool completely in the baking dish.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy the refreshing taste of rhubarb in every bite!
