Rhubarb Shortbread Bars Recipe

Rhubarb Shortbread Bars Recipe

  • Shortbread Crust:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • Filling:
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups 1/4-inch slices rhubarb
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Mix 1 cup flour, butter, and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl; pack the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish.
  3. Bake in preheated oven until the crust hardens slightly and is very fragrant, but not yet browned, about 15 minutes.
  4. Whisk brown sugar, eggs, white sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and salt together in a bowl until completely smooth; add rhubarb and stir to coat. Pour the rhubarb mixture over the crust.
  5. Bake in oven until the rhubarb mixture sets, about 40 minutes; cool at least 10 minutes before cutting into bars.
