Rhubarb Crumble/Crisp

1. This recipe is a change from "Grandmaman's Usual Crisp".  No brown sugar in the topping and flour with the fruit.  Fun to mix things up and enjoyed the first rhubarb of the season at the end of May using my new fluted ceramic plate.

3. Combine 1 cup flour, 1/3 cup oats, 3/4 cup sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

This recipe is in two parts, the filling and then a choice 

between a bisquick topping or a savoury pie pastry of your choice.

Filling

1 medium onion, chopped

1/3 cup butter

1/2 cup flour

To finish either prepare a piecrust of your choice or a bisquick topping as follows.

Piecrust

Line a 9 inch pie plate with a bottom pastry.  Pour hot filling into the crust. Place a top pastry over the filling, trim, seal and flute the edges.  Cut slits in pastry.  Brush top with milk.  Bake at 375 for for 40 or 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Or  Easy Bisquick Dumpling Topping

Mix 1 cup bisquick, 1/2 cup bisquick and 1 egg.  Put hot filling into a casserole dish.  Pour bisquick mixture over filling. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

I used my new fluted ceramic pie plate from 

Mother's Day for today's chicken pot pie with bisquick.
