Notes

RECIPE TIPS:
  1. If you're concerned about over-mixing the batter or breaking up the rhubarb too much, you can mix together the dry ingredients first then add the rest.
  2. This recipe assumes a slightly tart stewed rhubarb, as in our recipe - if yours is very sweet, you may need a little less sugar.
  3. You can easily scale up this recipe by multiplying up all the ingredients.
