Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 9 servings

Shortbread Crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Filling:

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups sliced rhubarb, 1/4-inch wide

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Make crust: Mix together flour, butter, and confectioners' sugar in a bowl; pack firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until crust hardens slightly and is very fragrant, but not yet browned, about 15 minutes.

  4. Make filling: Whisk together brown sugar, eggs, white sugar, flour, and salt in a bowl until completely smooth; stir in rhubarb to coat. Pour rhubarb mixture over crust.

  5. Bake in the oven until rhubarb mixture sets, about 40 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes before cutting into bars.
