We have an ENORMOUS rhubarb plant in the backyard. It's always a little magical in spring when it starts to unfurl from winter's death. We can watch it grow inches every day.
This is a recipe I discovered when my husband and I were first dating. He got sick in our first year together and while caring for him I had to find foods he could eat and would eat to keep his weight up. This one isn't super weighty, but he'd eat lots of it. I'm posting it here because I currently have the recipe on a ripped piece of paper, and while I've kept it for 7 years, I can see it getting lost or ruined.
The following is for an 8x8 baking dish or a pie pan.
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Put 2 Tbs butter into whatever dish you're using and put it in the oven to melt.
2. In a bowl mix 2/3 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of vanilla sugar (I have never owned vanilla sugar, so I just throw in some actual vanilla), 1.5 tsp. baking powder, 1/4 tsp. salt, 2/3 cup skim milk.
3. Add batter to pan & sprinkle 2 cups chopped rhubarb on top.
4. Bake 40-45 minutes then cool.
It is light and yummy and especially good with vanilla ice cream!
