this is an old-fashioned recipe from an early version of the "Better Homes and Gardens" cookbook. The biscuit topping has egg which makes a much richer and moister cobbler - something you would be proud to serve to guests

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon water
4 cups rhubarb, cut in 1 inch slices
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (I like the taste of the rhubard so I don't add it) (optional)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Mix first four topper ingredients.
  • Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs.
  • Add slightly beaten egg and milk all at once to dry ingredients, stirring just to moisten.
  • Set Aside.
  • Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon (optional), water, butter and rhubarb.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour hot rhubarb filling into 8" round or square baking dish.
  • Immediately spoon on biscuit topper in 6 mounds.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes.
  • Serve with cream or ice cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Choose firm, brightly colored rhubarb stalks that are no thicker than 1 inch in diameter. Avoid stalks that are wilted, bruised, or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Rinse the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Remove any leaves or blemishes from the stalks.
  • Use a combination of sugar and cornstarch: This will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny. You can also add a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcook the filling: The rhubarb should be tender but still hold its shape. Overcooking will make the filling mushy.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can use a simple streusel topping, a biscuit topping, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb cobbler is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and tart flavor, rhubarb cobbler is a surefire hit. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe is a great place to start.
