1⁄4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. sugar
3⁄4 cup cold butter, cubed

1. Prepare Crust: Sift dry ingredients. Cut in butter until pieces are tiny and evenly
distributed. Add milk and mix until dough just comes together. Wrap and chill at least 1 hr.

2. Form dough into 6-8 equal pieces; roll each out to fit into an individual tart pan. Blind bake at 375°F for 15 min.

3. Meanwhile, prepare Filling: Toss rhubarb with brown sugar and cinnamon. Add to sauté pan over low heat; cook 2 min. Cover and stew until rhubarb is just falling apart. Adjust sugar.

4. Prepare Streusel Topping: Cream butter and almond paste with sugar. Add flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice; mix lightly until combined. Chill.

5. Fill tart shells with cooled rhubarb filling. Grate streusel over tarts. Bake in 375°F oven 10 min. until golden brown.
