Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 1–2 tablespoons ice water
- 3 cups rhubarb, chopped
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- For the crust: In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time and pulse until the dough just comes together.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and chill for 15 minutes.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss well to coat.
- Spread the rhubarb mixture evenly into the cooled crust.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the rhubarb is tender.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a decorative touch, arrange thin rhubarb strips in a pattern over the filling before baking.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
