Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 3 cups rhubarb, diced
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for filling)
• 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of granulated sugar.

Step 3

Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Press two-thirds of this mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Reserve the remaining third for the topping.

Step 5

Spread the diced rhubarb evenly over the crust.

Step 6

In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sour cream, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 1 cup of sugar.

Step 7

Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the rhubarb layer, spreading it with a spatula if necessary.

Step 8

Take the reserved crumb mixture and sprinkle it over the top of the filling to create a crumbly topping.

Step 9

Dust the top with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for added flavor.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.

Step 11

Allow the squares to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 pieces and serving.

Step 12

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
