Rhubarb Platz

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9X13 pan.

In the food processor [or large bowl] put . . .

1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup butter
Combine until crumbly [or cut the butter into the above ingredients with a pastry blender]

Add in 1/2 cup milk
1 fresh egg
1 tsp. vanilla [or almond extract]

Spread into the prepared pan
Top with diced fresh or frozen rhubarb

Make the topping . . .
1 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of butter, melted
1 1/2 cup of sugar
Combine the flour, sugar and butter to make crumbs and sprinkle over the fruit.

Bake until golden brown . . . about 30 minutes.

What does "platz" mean? In German, it means "place", the place you put your fruit. In my family, it means Grandma's dessert! (Fight with the cousins for Seconds and Thirds. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream if you have such.)

Thanks for the recipe. I got some rhubarb last week and didn't know what to make. I blanched it and put it in the freezer waiting for a simple recipe.

I look forward to trying this.

Thanks Charlynn, that recipe looks like a winner.

P.S. to Kathy; we don't bother to blanch our rhubarb (from the garden) -- just rinse it off, cut it into bite sized pieces, bag it and throw it into the freezer.

Yeah, that's true: rhubarb is so tough and stringy when fresh but mushes down nicely when cut up and baked.

Yesterday I was planning to bake but it was too hot and then we dropped by a friend's place who was baking muffins (brave, brave girl!) The crumble-top muffins had just come right out of the oven, so she asked me to check if the inside was done -- and what did I find????

Rhubarb! (Okra standing in for dancing Rhubarb)

I was so happy!

I am eating fresh baked rhubarb platz as I type!

It is just right except that it seems to be missing a dozen cousins. And it wasn't served from a giant pan (I halved the recipe). Plus, there are no mosquitoes.

Ah, fruit of the spring time, sweetened vegetable of my youth, prairie sugar pie!
