Ingredients

  • 300 g flour
  • 150 cold butter
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 750 g rhubarb
  • 1 untreated lemon (juice and grated zest)
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 egg yolk

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Knead the flour with butter pieces, sugar, and salt; add 3 tbsp cold water and work into a shortcrust pastry. Wrap in foil and chill for 1 hour.

  2. 2.

    Wash, trim, and cut the rhubarb into small pieces; mix with lemon juice, zest, sugar, and cornstarch.

  3. 3.

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Divide the dough into a larger and smaller portion, roll each into a circle. Place the larger piece in a greased pan, form a decorative edge, prickle several times with a fork, and fill with rhubarb mixture. Roll the second dough sheet into ~2 cm strips using a pastry wheel and lay them over the tart as a lattice. Beat the egg yolk with a little hot water and brush it over the crust. Bake on the lower rack for about 35–40 minutes until golden.
