Ingredients
Crust
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113g) butter, cold and diced
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
Filling
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1¼ cup (250 g) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (31 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3½ cups diced rhubarb
Instructions
Crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, blend the flour, confectioners sugar, and butter. You can use a food processor or pastry cutter, but I prefer my hands. You want the butter to be no bigger than a pea size and the ingredients to be well incorporated.
- Press into the lined pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes. (The edges should just barely start to golden.)
Filling
- In a medium bowl, lightly beat two eggs. Add sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Gently fold in the diced rhubarb.
- Pour mixture over the hot crust. Bake for another 35-40 minutes or until filling is almost set.
- Allow bars to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. You can serve them slightly warm or refrigerate until ready to serve.
