Ingredients

Shortbread Crust

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup 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 1/4-inch slices rhubarb

Directions

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

Step 2
Mix 1 cup flour, butter, and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl; pack the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish.

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

Step 4
Whisk brown sugar, eggs, white sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and salt together in a bowl until completely smooth; add rhubarb and stir to coat. Pour the rhubarb mixture over the crust.

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