Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 c butter room temperature
- 1-1.5 tsp vanilla extract
Filling:
- 4 eggs room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 cups rhubarb chopped into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, cream together butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
Press dough into the bottom of the dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove.
While crust bakes, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl.
Fold in chopped rhubarb until evenly coated.
Pour custard mixture over the warm crust.
Return to oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden.
Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
