== Description ==
Throw what you know about rhubarb out the window. This recipe is sweet to the palate, using sugar and strawberry Jell-O to offset the acidity of the rhubarb. A splendid streusel topping and a buttery pastry crust round out this dessert. This tastes best when still slightly warm; serve with frozen custard, vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream. Make sure to have plenty of coffee available for your guests - this is just one of those "gotta have coffee with it" desserts!
== Ingredients ==
* 1 cup flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* ½ tsp salt
* 2 tbsp butter
* 1 egg
* 2 tbsp milk
* 3 cups raw sliced rhubarb
* 1 package strawberry Jell-O
* 1 cup sugar
* ¼ cup melted butter
* ½ cup flour
* ½ tsp cinnamon
== Directions ==
# Cream the butter, then stir in the egg and milk.
# Add the flour, baking powder and salt.
# Pat the pastry into the bottom of a lightly greased 10" square pan. Spread the rhubarb over the pastry and sprinkle with the gelatin.
# Top with the streusel mixture, then bake at 375 °F for 50 - 60 minutes.
# To make the streusel: mix the melted butter, ½ cup flour, sugar, and the cinnamon together until it becomes crumbly. The largest pieces shouldn't be any bigger than the size of peas.
# You can also make this dessert in a 13 x 9" pan. You MUST double the pastry recipe, as the original recipe is not enough to cover a 13 x 9". However, the rhubarb and streusel amounts can remain the same.
