Rhubarb Crumble from Phillis Pellman Good
Rhubarb Pot Pie could weigh heavily in one’s stomach for the better part of a day: “Melt and brown butter in a kettle. Put in a layer of dough, then a layer of cooked rhubarb and sugar. Repeat until you have as much as wanted. Be sure to have dough on top. Cover the kettle and bake ½–¾ hour on not too hot a stove.” That dish was designed for the busy cook— and consumers who exercised vigorously.
One adaptation of this rhubarb dessert has more crunch and sits more lightly—Rhubarb Crumble.
