Cookie crust pie shell:
Mix ingredients with a pastry cutter until crumbly and consistency of cornmeal. Pour into a pie pan, distributing evenly over the bottom. With floured hands, start in the middle and press the mixture into the bottom of the pan and up the sides as evenly as possible. Bake 8-10 minutes at 350 F until lightly golden. Cool completely.

2 eggs
¼ cup flour
1 ½ cups sugar
¾ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp cinnamon

Beat the eggs and mix all ingredients together.
|
|
3 cups rhubarb

Cut the rhubarb into ½ “ pieces. Mix with the batter and pour into the pie shell. Bake at 375 F for 30-35 minutes until the rhubarb is tender.

This reminds me of a wonderful dessert we enjoyed in Germany called “Rhubarbara Kuchen”.

Cut the rhubarb into ½ “ pieces. Place in a large saucepan. Add water just to the top of the rhubarb. Bring to a boil. Turn heat to med-low and simmer until the rhubarb cooks down into a sauce. Add sugar to taste.

Rhubarb sauce was a staple on Gramma Florence’s table. She served this treat all summer long on cake, on ice cream or just plain.

Gramma Florence gave me this recipe. It doesn’t seem like typical Ree Heights fare; I’ve always wondered where it originated.
