I can't say I've ever tasted a rhubarb tart like that but it sounds delicious.

I've moved this into the Cakes & Bakes forum because you're more likely to get helpful replies in here.

My nan used to make this. It's kind of a soda bread pastry, much less fat to flour. I would say a self raising flour recipe too maybe. To me it's like a bought pastry, thicker than I make Google old fashioned/traditional recipes and look out for one so with a lot less fat and some sort of raising agent.
