- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter
- 5 tablespoons white sugar, divided
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 eggs, separated
- 4 cups chopped rhubarb
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar, or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- Mix together flour, butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium-sized bowl. Pat crust into a 8-inch square pan, bringing up the sides.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- While crust is cooling, make a slurry of cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Set aside. Beat separated egg yolks in a small bowl.

Add cornstarch slurry to boiling rhubarb as needed to thicken mixture. Pour into the cooled crust.
