cooking spray
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
3 large eggs
5 cups rhubarb, 1/2 inch slices,fresh or frozen unthawed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350.
Think of this recipe as 3 seperate parts.
The instructions indicate crust, filling or topping.
To prepare crust, mix flour sugar and salt in a bowl.
Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.

My crust never got golden but I baked only for about 20 minutes.
To prepare filling, combine flour, sugar.
Add milk and eggs stirring with whisk until well blended.
Stir in rhubarb.
Pour mixture over crust.
Bake at 350 for 40 min.
or until set.

Gently fold in whipped topping.
Spread evenly over baked custard.
