RHUBARB CREAM SQUARES
These are one of my favorite ways to eat rhubarb. The custard balances out the tartness of the rhubarb. Even better with a dollop of whipped cream. My grandmother was a great baker and this recipe comes from her.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Rhubarb: Select firm, crisp rhubarb stalks with bright red color. Avoid stalks that are limp or have brown spots.
- Prepare Rhubarb Properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into small pieces about 1-inch in length.
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best results, use high-quality ingredients such as fresh eggs, real butter, and pure vanilla extract.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent it from spreading too much. This will result in a firmer, more stable crust.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixed batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the Meringue Properly: The meringue should be baked until it is golden brown and firm to the touch. This will ensure that it is cooked through and stable.
