Sep 04, 2006 1 Replies
1 1/2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup sour milk, or buttermilk
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour

Cream sugar and margarine. Add egg and salt. Stir in milk, soda, vanilla and flour. Add rhubarb.



Pour in 9 x 13 pan



Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon



Bake 375 deg for 35 minutes.


Re. buttermilk. I find recipes always call for so little and then it gets wasted so now I freeze the balance in small containers. It works very well. This recipe is not the same without the sour/buttermilk. I also use buttermilk to soak chicken overnight if I am going to fry it. That make a difference too, it must be a chemical reaction or something.



Now all you need it next years rhubarb harvest lol


Thanks Sheena! I'll have a nice little pork out in your honor soon.

Meanwhile I'm still trying to straighten out my filing. (sigh)
