List of Ingredients




For crust:
-1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup powdered sugar
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
-2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (colored portion of peel)
-1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

For filling:
-4 large eggs
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-2 cups granulated sugar
-1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
-4 cups (1 pound) packed diced rhubarb (from about 1 1/2 pounds rhubarb stalks)




Recipe



Step 1:
-Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
-Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch pan.
-To prepare the crust, whisk together flour, sugar and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
-Using your fingers, a pastry blender, a mixer or a food processor, cut in the butter until crumbly.
-Add lemon zest and juice.
-Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan.
-Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned.
-Remove from the oven; let cool slightly. Leave the oven on.

Step 2:
-While the crust is baking, make the filling.
-Beat eggs and salt until foamy.
-Gradually add sugar, beating until the mixture is thick and light yellow.
-Blend in flour, then fold in rhubarb.

Step 3:
-Pour rhubarb mixture over warm crust, return the pan to the oven and bake the bars for 40 to 45 minutes, until lightly browned.
-For easiest cutting, let cool for several hours. (The top layer separates a bit from the filling when you cut; just press it back lightly.)


Variation:
-To make Strawberry-Rhubarb Dreams, substitute hulled, coarsely chopped strawberries for up to half the rhubarb.
