So the conversation goes back and forth until I finally call his mom to find out it's a dessert she used to make, back in like 1978. This is one of them.
Bottom Crust
3 cups flour (I used 2 cups whole wheat, 1 cup all-purpose)
3 tbsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
Cut in 3/4 cup butter
In a separate bowl, mix 3 eggs and 3 tbsp. milk and add to above mixture. Grease a 9x13 cake pan and press into pan.
Cover with 4 cups of cut rhubarb and sprinkle with 1 - 6 oz. package of jello (I used raspberry because it's what I had on hand).
Mix together 1/2 cup butter, 2 cups sugar (I used splenda), 1 cup flour (I used whole wheat), 1 cup rolled oats, and 1/2 cup brown sugar (splenda again). Sprinkle over rhubarb.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
Very good. I've had a piece each night. Make that two pieces tonight. :)

Does it need to be flavored jello? I have unflavored, but I'm guessing the flavoring helps a lot?
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to the blog hop!
The jello is what gives it more flavor, i like either raspberry or strawberry, and you could also use cherry.
DeleteHi! Hmm, I suppose you could use unflavored but you'd probably want to add some fruit, like strawberries or raspberries, since rhubarb has such a tart flavor!
