Rhubarb Brown Betty
The combo of chunks of rhubarb with bread crumbs, cinnamon and sugar doesn't sound like much of a dessert. But when cooked, something special happens and a wonderful treat emerges. Sweet and slightly tangy, this gooey rhubarb recipe is a must.

- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 8 tablespoons butter, chilled and cut in chunks
- 4 slices firm bread
- 1 pound rhubarb, cut in chunks (about 3 cups)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a square 9 inch baking dish.
- Sift flour, sugar, spices into a bowl. Cut the butter pieces into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse flour.
- Place 3/4 cup of dry ingredients in bottom of pan.
- Tear bread into small pieces. Toss bread and fruit together and spread in pan. Top with remaining dry mix.
- Bake until browned about 35-45 minutes. May be served with cream, custard, or ice cream.

Hello everyone, thanks for the feedback and catching the mistake with the butter. As for the rhubarb: 1 pound of rhubarb = 3 cups chopped rhubarb or about 2 cups chopped cooked rhubarb. Thanks!
