Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 13×9 inch baking dish by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Add in 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, mixing until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of your prepared baking dish, then bake for 15 minutes or until just golden around the edges.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 2 cups of granulated sugar, 1/3 cup flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth. Fold in 4 cups of diced fresh rhubarb.
  5. Pour the rhubarb filling over the warm crust and spread it evenly. Bake for an additional 40–45 minutes until the filling is set and lightly golden.
  6. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve at room temperature.
