Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour and confectioners' sugar. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Press the flour-butter mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Bake the crust in the preheated oven until golden brown, approximately 15-20 minutes. (20 minutes)

05

Step

While the crust is baking, prepare the rhubarb filling: In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, baking powder, and nutmeg. Stir in the beaten eggs until well combined. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Gently fold the chopped rhubarb into the egg mixture, ensuring the rhubarb is evenly coated. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Pour the rhubarb filling over the baked crust, spreading evenly. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. (35 minutes)

09

Step

Let the crisp cool slightly before serving. (15 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the rhubarb filling.
If you don't have fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb. Be sure to thaw and drain it well before using.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

    Can this recipe be doubled for a larger pan? Yes, it can. Just double all the ingredients and use a 9x13 inch pan. You may need to increase the baking time slightly.
