Rhubarb and Cinnamon bites:
Ingredients for the base:
45g butter
25g sugar
60g flour (I used 1/2 plain 1/2 wholemeal)
pinch salt
Ingredients for the topping:
200g rhubarb cut into small chunks
30g sugar (divided)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 small eggs
Juice from 1/4 lemon
tbsp cornflour (which I forgot to add)
Oven 180C...
1. Beat together butter and sugar then add in the flour and press mixture into the tin, bake for 15-20 minutes, then turn the oven down to 160C.
2. Heat the rhubarb in a pan with 1/2 the sugar and the cinnamon for about 10 minutes, until it is all soft (no lumps - if lumps blend). the leave to cool.
3. Whisk eggs, lemon juice and remaining sugar and when the rhubarb mixture is cool, add to the whisked eggs, pour onto the base and cook for a further 25-30 minutes.
Well I forgot the cornflour, but actually I'm not sure it would have made a difference to the flavour. The majority vote was...... Ew thats disgusting. Except for Luis, who I am pretty sure said it was nice out of sheer politeness.
Actually Ellie has just come downstairs and confirmed that Luis was being polite, what he was actually going to say was "you should feed it to Pepper because she is used to eating shit" - she is a beagle after all.
