This was so good. Too bad I can't give you 10 stars, because now you've got me hooked on rhubarb. For the crumble I only needed 3/4 cup of milk (I sprinkled a little at a time to see how the dough would form). The dough came out just fine with that amount of milk. I also used almonds that already cam slivered, because I didn't feel like chopping any of the nuts. There was also alot of jiuce at the bottom of the pan, which was problematic, so I drained it immediately. But it was so delicious.
