For this treat, Minocqua, Wisconsin field editor Charlene Griffin features that perennial spring flavor, rhubarb. Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup old-fashioned oats |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed |
4 cups diced fresh rhubarb or frozen rhubarb |
1-1/3 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1 cup cold water |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
vanilla ice cream, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press half of the mixture into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Set remaining crumb mixture aside for topping. Sprinkle rhubarb over crust; set aside. 2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch; gradually whisk in water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. 3. Remove from the heat; whisk in vanilla. Pour over rhubarb. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. 4. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour or until bubbly and lightly browned. Serve warm with ice cream if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings. |
