Equipment

Ingredients

Fruit:

  • 1 lb rhubarb
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • cup sugar add a little more if you like a sweeter flavor
  • 2 tsp cornstarch

Topping:

  • cup sugar + 1 Tbsp
  • ¾ stick butter if using unsalted, add a pinch of salt to the flour
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour minus 2 Tbsp
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • 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" ( 2 ½ cm) pieces.
  • Stir the cornstarch into the sugar, then add it to the rhubarb along with the lemon juice, and toss gently.
  • Place the sugared rhubarb into the buttered pie dish.

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.
  • Drop large spoonfuls of the dough onto the rhubarb in the pie dish.
  • 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. 

Notes

  • Serve on its own, with ice cream, custard or whipping cream.
