Rhubarb Three Squares (Printable Version)

All you need is three things to get these sweet-and-sour bars on the table in half an hour.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 397 grams sweetened condensed milk
02 - 155 grams self-raising flour
03 - 280 grams rhubarb, diced

→ Finishing

04 - 8 grams confectioner's sugar, for dusting

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a 23 cm square cake tin with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, blend sweetened condensed milk and self-raising flour until the mixture forms a cohesive, thick batter.
03 - Gently fold diced rhubarb into the batter, ensuring an even dispersion of fruit throughout.
04 - Spoon the batter into the prepared tin, spreading and pressing it evenly into the corners with a spatula.
05 - Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centre is set.
06 - Let cool fully in the tin before lifting out. This helps the squares firm up and slice neatly.
07 - Cut into 16 uniform squares. Dust with confectioner's sugar immediately before serving if desired.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Soaking diced rhubarb in grenadine before baking enhances its colour and provides an attractive appearance.
