How to Make Rhubarb Bars
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of an 8×8" pan with parchment paper, allowing it to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
- Whirl the crust ingredients—flour, sugar, and butter—together in a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press it evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake the crust for 15 minutes. It should remain very pale in color but firm to the touch.
- While the crust bakes, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, remaining flour, and salt until just combined. About 1 minute will do.
- Gently stir in the diced rhubarb. Pour this colorful filling over the hot pre-baked crust.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes. The filling should be set and lightly golden on top.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cool, use the parchment paper to lift them out and cut into squares.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a lovely touch!
Notes
