Ingredients

  • 4 stalks rhubarb (about 3 cups chopped)
  • 14 cup sugar
  • 3 -4 teaspoons tapioca starch (can be subbed with cornstarch)
  • 13 cup margarine
  • 13 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 12 cups flour
  • 12 teaspoon baking powder
  • 18 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Quarter (lengthwise) rhubarb stalks and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
  2. Add sugar; set aside.
  3. Cream margarine, 1/3 cup of sugar and vanilla.
  4. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Drain rhubarb juice and add milk to get 1/3 cup.
  6. Incorporate flour, alternating with juice, into the margarine/sugar mix (will be very dry).
  7. Preheat oven to 350F.
  8. Press some of the dough onto the sides and bottoms of mini-muffin pans.
  9. If dough is too crumbly and doesn't stick together, add more liquid.
  10. Poke bottoms with a fork.
  11. Bake on BOTTOM rack of the oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden (if dough puffs up, push back towards the edges with the back of a spoon when half cooked).
  12. In the meantime, mix starch with rhubarb and cook in a small saucepan over low heat until thickened.
  13. Fill each cup with rhubarb puree; top with a piece of marshmallow.
  14. Return to oven and bake another 10 minutes.
  15. If marshmallows aren't golden yet, turn the oven to broil for a few minutes (watch carefully).
