.

10" X 15" baking pan, lined with buttered parchment paper.

Mix flour, sugar, salt  and baking powder together.

Cut butter into flour. (I use a box grater)

Mix eggs and cream together with vanilla and add to flour mixture.

Stir until dry ingredients are combined and moistened.   Don't

over mix.

Spread batter into prepared pan and evenly distribute rhubarb over

batter.

Mix together the flour, sugar and melted butter to form crumbs.

minutes

golden.
