Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 cups Fresh rhubarb (diced)
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold, unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and then stir them into the crumb mixture until incorporated. The dough will be slightly crumbly.

Step 5

Press 2/3 of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Set the remaining 1/3 of the mixture aside for the topping.

Step 6

In another bowl, toss the diced rhubarb with the cornstarch, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until the rhubarb is evenly coated.

Step 7

Spread the rhubarb mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top of the rhubarb layer, making sure to cover it evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling.

Step 10

Allow the rhubarb crumb squares to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares and serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
