2 Tbsp lemon juicee
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 cups all-purpose flour

blender until mixture is crumbly. Add buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla; stir
with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened.
* Spread half of batter evenly into a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish.
Spoon rhubarb mixture evenly over batter, and drop remaining batter by
tablespoonfuls over filling.
* Combine 1/4 cup melted butter and remaining ingredients; sprinkle mixture
over batter.
* Bake at 350F for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares.
Yield: 15 servings.
Rules For Rhubarb: Choose firm, crisp stalks that are cherry-red or pink
in color. Avoid wilted stalks. They will be stringy and less flavorful.
Oversize stalks might be tough. Remember, only the stalks are edible;
rhubarb leaves can be toxic.
