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:

For a crispier crust, chill the dough before baking.
If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use a fork to cut the butter into the flour.
Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the crust. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
When making the custard filling, be sure to stir it constantly to prevent it from curdling.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can check to see if the custard is done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the custard is done.
Let the custard filling cool completely before pouring it onto the crust. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Serve the rhubarb cream squares chilled or at room temperature.
