Yorkshire Rhubarb Desert
Ingredients:
1/4 C. butter
2 eggs
3/4 C. Milk
3/4 C. flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 C. sliced rhubarb
1/2 C. brown sugar

Heat butter in a 1 quart baking dish in 425 degree oven till bubbling. Combine eggs, milk, flour and salt in blender. Pour into hot butter. pour rhubarb into the center of the batter and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes or until crust is brown. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Serves 4-6. (341 calories and worth it!)
