Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups white flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar , packed
  • 8 cups diced rhubarb (1 long, thick stalk will generally yield about one cup of 'barb)
  • 6 egg yolks (whites are used in the meringue)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup cream
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar (2 tsp at a time)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350; butter a 13x9 pan.
  2. Cream butter with flours and sugar, spread in prepared pan, pressing into corners and bottom; bake for 5-10 minutes (it will get bubbly-sort of).
  3. While that is cooking, cut up the rhubarb.
  4. In a blender or a mixer bowl, beat eggs until foamy and fluffy, add sugar and continue mixing, then add other ingredients until thick and rich; set aside (rewhip right before pouring into pan with rhubarb).
  5. When crust is baked, spread rhubarb pieces evenly (press lightly into crust-lightly!); pour custard over rhubarb; return pan to the oven for 45 minutes (knife poked in middle comes out clean).
  6. While THAT is cooking, prepare meringue; beat eggs until forming soft (firm) peaks, adding sugar 2 teaspoons at a time, then salt and vanilla last, mixing until stiff.
  7. At end of baking time, remove pan from oven, turn heat up to 425; spread meringue over rhubarb/custard, smooth with a spoon into pretty swirls.
  8. Brown for five minutes; set the timer-it can burn very quickly!
  9. VARIATIONS: Skip the meringue and use whole eggs in the custard; switch out some of the rhubarb for strawberries or raspberries; use all white flour instead of wholewheat in the crust.
