Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare crust: mix together flour, sugar, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.

Step 2

Pat crust mixture into the bottom and sides of an 11x7" pan. Crust should come at least 1" up the sides of the pan.

Step 3

Line crust with pieces of chopped rhubarb. Use enough for a single layer of rhubarb pieces.

Step 4

Prepare custard: in a mixing bowl, lightly beat 3 eggs. Stir in sugar, salt, and light cream. Pour the custard mixture over rhubarb.

Step 5

Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the center is set and the edges begin to brown. Cool pan on a wire rack. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Dust with confectioner's sugar just before serving, if desired.
