Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F Instructions for the Crust:
Cut the butter into the flour and sugar as you would for pie pastry
Press dough into a 9" by 13" pan Instructions for the Custard:
Beat eggs in large bowl until foamy; add sugars
Cream slightly; add flour, baking powder, and salt
Fold to combine; add rhubarb
Gently mix together; allow mixture to sit for about an hour Putting it all together:
Pour the custard over the crust and smooth it evenly

Preheat the oven to 350F Thermomix instructions for the crust:
Scale butter, flour and sugar into the TM bowl; set time at 30 seconds and speed at 2-3
Press dough into a 9" by 13" pan or two narrower tart pans, like I did Thermomix instructions for the custard:
Scale both sugars into the TM bowl; add eggs
Place butterfly securely in place and remember to never use it over speed 4; set time at 1 minute and speed at 4
Scrape down sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula; scale flour, baking powder, and salt into TM bowl
Set time to 20 seconds on soft speed, watching through hole in the lid, go to 0.5 speed and then to speed 1; combine for 10 more seconds if not thoroughly combined
Scale thinly sliced red tart rhubarb into the TM bowl; still with the whisk, set the speed to soft and the time to 15 seconds
Watching through the hole in the lid, gently stir from speed soft to 0.5 for 15 seconds until fully combined
Pour mixture onto pastry crust; set aside for 30 minutes to macerate Putting it all together:
