Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup cold butter
  • FILLING:
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 5 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • MERINGUE:

Gradually beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form. Immediately spread over hot filling, sealing edges.
