Ingredients
  • Fruit:
  • 5 cups sliced and hulled strawberries
  • 1 package (16 oz) frozen rhubarb
  • ¾ cup sugar (or to taste)
  • 2½ Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • Biscuit Topping:
  • 2 cups flour
  • ½ cup sugar, plus 2 teaspoons additional, to sprinkle on top of the cobbler
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick (8 Tablespoons) butter, melted and cooled, plus 2 additional Tablespoons of melted and cooled butter
  • ⅔ cup buttermilk, chilled
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Slice the strawberries. Chop the rhubarb, if you're using fresh. If you're using frozen rhubarb, there's no need to thaw it.
  3. Toss the fruit, sugar, cornstarch and vanilla, until evenly combined in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the fruit is soft.
  5. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, ½ cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Add the melted and cooled butter to the chilled buttermilk and mix gently to combine. The butter will form little clumps of butter which will be dispersed in the biscuit dough and as they bake, the butter will melt in little pockets and make the biscuits tender and flaky.
  6. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a rubber spatula just enough so that the dough comes together. There should still be streaks of flour. It's very important not to over mix the biscuit dough or they will be tough. Use a portion scoop to scoop out the dough over the fruit.
  7. Brush the top of the cobbler with 2 Tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with 2 teaspoon of sugar. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
  8. If you make this cobbler ahead of time, you can later reheat and crisp it up in a preheated 400 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 10-15 minutes. This cobbler is really delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
