Rhubarb Bars
Rhubarb Bars layer a buttery shortbread base with tart rhubarb, a strawberry-kissed sprinkle of gelatin, and a golden, crumbly topping. Each bite balances bright tang with gentle sweetness and a rich, buttery crunch. Ideal for spring gatherings, potlucks, or an afternoon treat with coffee or tea.

To make the crust: In a large bowl, stir 2 cups of flour and baking powder; cut in 1/2 cup of butter by pinching with your fingers or using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the egg and milk just until moistened. Pat the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Spread the rhubarb evenly over the crust, then sprinkle the dry gelatin powder over the rhubarb.

To make the topping: Stir 2 cups white sugar and 1 cup flour together in a bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup of butter as you did for the crust. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the rhubarb.

Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender enough to pierce easily with a fork, about 45 minutes. Cool, then cut into bars to serve.
