This happens to be a favorite dessert recipe of mine. It's one of those recipes that you make and immediately devour, get pissed that you don't have any left and then make again.
What's really exciting about this recipe is how perfect it is as a jumping off point. I think any damned fruit you come across would taste great in here---except maybe bananas---unless you're one of those banana-freaks.
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
3 cups flour
1 cup cold butter
1 egg
1/4 tsp salt
zest & juice of 1 lemon, separated
3 cups sliced strawberries
1 cup chopped rhubarb
1/2 cup sugar
4 T cornstarch
Preheat oven to 375.
Butter a 9x13 baking dish.
Whisk together flour, baking powder and 1 cup sugar. Add salt and lemon zest. Cut in butter to make crumbly dough. Add egg. Press 1/2 into bottom of pan.
Stir together remaining sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Gently mix in strawberries and rhubarb. Pour evenly over crust.
Crumble remaining dough over top.
Bake about 45 minutes or until browned lightly.
Makes 36 bars (But you'll eat all of them)
is this similar to those blueberry lemon squares?? i have been seriously craving those lately i cant wait for blueberry picking season! well, if you happen to not devour all of these tonight, you should bring one over tomorrow! they look awesome.
ReplyDeleteYep, same recipe & I just added strawberries and rhubarb. I made them a while ago and we immediately ate every crumb. You should give them a whirl with another fruit! And you seriously need to make the curried cauliflower soup--it's amazing.
