Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter or margarine
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Mix the butter, flour, and brown sugar together until crumbly, resembling pie crust.
  2. Pat the mixture evenly into a 9 x 13-inch pan.
  3. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes until golden and set.

Tips & Substitutions

For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the crumb mixture. If you want a lighter texture, substitute half of the butter with applesauce. You can also use whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste. Make sure to check the doneness early to avoid over-baking; it should be just golden and set, resembling a cookie crust.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this delightful rhubarb dessert warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee. For a festive touch, consider drizzling it with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.

Storage & Reheating

Once cooled, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, ensuring it stays soft and delicious.
