Rhubarb Dream

This is so easy and good that for years I keep going back to it, even though I have tried many rhubarb recipes over the years.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sifted flour
• 5 Tbsp. powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup flour
• pinch of salt
• 2 cups or more rhubarb cut into 1/2 inch pieces.

Directions:

Blend first 3 ingredients together like you would for a pie crust and then press into a 9 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.

Mix 2 well beaten eggs with the 1 cup sugar, the 1/4 cup flour and the pinch of salt. Add rhubarb and mix. Pour over baked crust and return it to oven to bake again for 35 minutes.

Note: Original recipe called for 1-1/2 cups sugar but I cut it down because I thought it was too sweet. If you like, you could cut it down to 1-1/4 cups. I just like the tartness of the rhubarb.
