Tips:
- For the perfect crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will create a flaky, tender crust that won't be too dry or crumbly.
- Be sure to chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking and cracking.
- To make the filling, use fresh rhubarb that is in season. This will give the bars the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the filling. You want it to be thick and syrupy, but not too dry.
- For a streusel topping, simply combine flour, sugar, and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Rhubarb dream bars are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a hit with a crowd. With their sweet and tart filling, flaky crust, and streusel topping, these bars are sure to be a favorite in your home.
