Instructions

Prepare the crust by mixing softened butter and powdered sugar until creamy. Add egg and almond flour; blend well. Gradually mix in all-purpose flour and salt to form dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out chilled dough and fit into tart pan. Blind bake for 15 minutes.
For the rhubarb filling, boil water with rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice, and spices for 10 minutes until soft.
In another bowl, whisk together milk, vanilla extract, egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth.
Strain rhubarb from syrup; layer over baked crust and pour custard mixture on top.
Bake at reduced temperature of 170°C (340°F) for approximately 30 minutes until custard is set but slightly jiggles in center.
Allow to cool before slicing and serving.
