Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler
Description
This cobbler features a juicy filling that combines menudo chopped rhubarb and sliced strawberries with sugar, cornstarch to thicken, and fresh orange zest to brighten flavors. The fruit mixture is allowed to macerate for 30 minutes, releasing natural juices that blend with the sugar and cornstarch.
The crust is a biscuit-style topping made with flour, baking powder, cinnamon, sea salt, sugar, butter, milk or buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. The dough is prepared until it forms coarse crumbs before adding wet ingredients, creating a tender, flavorful topping that bakes to a golden brown with a delicate cinnamon note. Turbinado sugar sprinkled on top adds a crunchy, caramelized finish.
Baked at 350°F, the cobbler crust crisps while the filling becomes bubbly and thick, making it ideal served warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Individual or family-sized casseroles can be used depending on serving needs.
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 4 1/2 cups rhubarb chopped
- 1 1/2 cups strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
For the cobbler crust:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 egg lightly beaten, large
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- turbinado sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix the rhubarb and the strawberries with the sugar, corn starch, and orange zest. Let sit for 30 minutes to bring out the juices.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Cut the butter in with a pastry blender or your hands. Combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the milk, egg, and vanilla, stir until just moistened. Don't overmix.
- Pour strawberries and rhubarb into a 2-quart casserole dish or individual casserole dishes/ramekins. Drop the cobbler batter on top of the fruit. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the cobbler topping. Bake for 30-35 minutes until cobbler crust is golden brown and fruit filling is bubbling. If desired, serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
