I have been
waiting and waiting to make rhubarb torte and finally had the chance! I love how it turned out and so does my
family. Baking involves a lot of math, especially
if you are going to double or half your recipe. My daughter loves to bake with me and I
enjoy teaching her all of my mom’s old recipes.
Rhubarb Torte
Crust:
½ cup Softened Butter
½ cup Margarine
2 cups Flour
2 TBSP Sugar
Mix together and press
into a 9x13 pan.
Filling:
5 cups Chopped Rhubarb –
spread evenly over crust
6 Egg Yolks
2 cups Sugar
2 cup Cream
4 TBSP Flour (I would
use a little more; otherwise it could be a little runny.)
½ TSP Salt
Mix the above 5
ingredients and pour over rhubarb. Bake
@ 350˚ for 40-45 minutes until set.
Meringue:
6 Egg Whites
Beat until stiff.
Gradually add:
1 cup Sugar¼ TSP Salt
¼ TSP Cream of Tartar
Spread over baked torte, form peaks with back of spoon, and bake at 325˚ until golden brown.
Cool before eating! ENJOY!
This recipe is not a
good one to double or half, but some great recipes to do this with are cookies,
bars, and pancakes. Kids love to help
out in the kitchen and what a great way to have a learning experience and spend
time with your children.

I hope you are able to
do some baking with your kids and teach them about fractions at the same time.
