Using electric mixer, beat butter and salt in a medium bowl until creamy. Add egg yolks and egg; beat to blend. Add flour and sugar; meat until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball, flatten into disk, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 2 hours.
Press in to bottom and sides of a tart pan, or eight individual tartlet pans. Chill one hour.

TOPPING:
1 c old-fashioned oats
1 c packed dark brown sugar
1/2 c whole wheat flour

It is good. And what's better is saying rhubarb like "whoo bob".

Whoo bob, whoo bob, whoo bob.
