We had dinner last night with my parents and my sister's family (including my adorable nieces, who are just adorable), and aside from the wonderful company, the highlight was the rhubarb dessert. Or was it the burgers? No, it was the dessert (sorry Dad). This dessert alone is reason enough to plant some rhubarb in your garden.
Crust
2 cups of flour
10 tablespoons of powdered sugar
1 cup softened butter
Mix like pie crust, press into 9x13 pan, and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
Filling
4 eggs
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 cups rhubarb
1 teaspoon almond extract
Beat eggs until fluffy. Add dry mixture, then add rhubarb and almond extract. Pour over crust and bake at 350 for 35 minutes.
My parents just got back from a trip to see my long-lost cousin, Matt, in Galveston, and they learned that Texans don't grow rhubarb. So take advantage of one of the very few things that Iowa has over Texas and make this dessert!
