Easy Rhubarb Cobbler Recipe

As always, I recommend the use of a scale for best results.

FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE BELOW

Ingredients

rhubarb
lemon juice
sugar
cornstarch
flour
egg
baking powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 350º F (180º C).

Butter the inside of a pie dish, or similar sized baking dish.

Prepare the Rhubarb

Wash the rhubarb stalks and chop into 1″ pieces.

I put these pieces into a cup to show you why you need to use a scale. See all the empty space in between the rhubarb pieces? How can you properly measure pieces of fruit in a cup? Please buy a scale for the best results. You can also use frozen rhubarb.

Toss the sugar with the cornstarch.

Now toss this mixture with the rhubarb pieces and lemon juice.

Pour the sugared rhubarb into the prepared pie dish and set aside.

Make the Easy Rhubarb Cobbler Topping

Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl so that they are evenly mixed.

Cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then gently fold in the flour and baking powder until well combined, without over mixing. That’s it, the topping is ready!

Assemble the Rhubarb Cobbler

Spread the cobbler dough over the rhubarb in the pie dish.

Bake the Cobbler

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes (depending on your oven) or until the topping is baked through, and golden brown. Remove from the oven.

Allow the easy rhubarb cobbler to cool slightly before serving.

You can dish it plain.

Or add a scoop of ice cream.

Homemade custard is also a great choice!
