It was my due diligence to transform these skinny girls and their pucker into something sweet. So I paid homage to her hometown and baked a batch of her mom's own... Rhubarb Butter Crunch
3 cups rhubarb
1 c. sugar
3 tbs. flour
Mix rhubarb, sugar & flour well. Place in a greased 8X8 baking dish and cover with topping of:
1 c. sugar

Mix rhubarb, sugar & flour well. Place in a greased 8X8 baking dish and cover with topping of:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oatmeal
1 1/2 c. flour and 1/4 cup oleo [damn, I love that word, but my ass doesn't]
Combine the topping ingredients & sprinkle over rhubarb mixture. Bake at 370 for 40 min.Wow. I'd venture a guess that your fam has a recipe a lot like this, tattered and sticky [because it's so damn good] in the front of the recipe box. If it tastes this good [like a sweetart for adults] then I'm demanding you start stalking rhubarb at the farmer's market this weekend. I loved it [it brought back some titty pink memories, my granny had rhubarb bushes in the backyard and they did everything from pies to crisps to salads & jams] and the kids raved over it, too [I think the coolwhip helped, but a spoonful of fluff brings out the best in a dessert as far as Ben & Marge are concerned]. My only complaint? It was too small. I'd triple the batch!
Tomorrow I've got a rhubarb salad to share, so pucker up!

ReplyDeleteI remember as a kid eating rhubarb that was cooked with sugar and water to make a sauce over ice cream, oh it was so good. I didn't know you weren't suppposed to like it as a child. My friend makes the best rhubarb crisp I ever ate. You make me want to go to the market and get rhubarb this week. You recipe looks fantastic and easy to make.
