An excellent dessert for after a hearty meal. I have also made the filling with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries, separately or mixed them together for a bumbleberry torte!

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup margarine
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 egg yolks
⅓ cup milk
3 ½ cups chopped rhubarb
3 egg whites
¼ cup white sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, margarine and confectioners' sugar. Mix together until it forms a ball. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch square pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
In a saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, yolks and milk. Stir together, then add chopped rhubarb. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Pour into hot crust.
In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over rhubarb filling, covering completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
