Ingredient List

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 2 1/2 cups cut-up rhubarb
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup flaked coconut

Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Mix butter, 1 cup flour and 1 tablespoon sugar. Press evenly in ungreased square pan, 9x9x2 inches. Bake 10 minutes.
  2. Mix egg yolks, 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, the salt and half-and-half in large bowl. Stir in rhubarb. Pour over hot crust. Bake 45 minutes.
  3. Beat egg whites in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy (do not underbeat). Beat in vanilla. Spread over rhubarb mixture; sprinkle with coconut. Bake about 10 minutes or until light brown; cool about 30 minutes. Cut into about 3-inch squares.

Tips

  • You can substitute 2 1/2 cups of frozen unsweetened rhubarb, thawed and well drained, for the fresh rhubarb.
