Classic Rhubarb Cobbler

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Rhubarb Cobbler.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give a light greasing to a 9-inch square baking dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a large saucepan, mix together white sugar and cornstarch, then stir in the chopped rhubarb and water.

3. Step 3

   Bring this mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously for about a minute until it thickens beautifully.

4. Step 4

   Once ready, pour the luscious filling into your prepared baking dish, dot the top with small pieces of butter, and sprinkle a touch of ground cinnamon for that warm, inviting aroma.

5. Step 5

   Now, let’s whip up the topping! In a medium bowl, sift together flour, a tablespoon of sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

6. Step 6

   Next, cut in the butter using two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, like a sandy beach ready for a stroll.

7. Step 7

   In a separate small bowl, beat together milk and an egg, then pour this mixture into the flour blend all at once.

8. Step 8

   Stir gently until everything is just moistened—don’t overmix; we want it to stay light and fluffy.

9. Step 9

   With your topping ready, drop spoonfuls over the rhubarb filling, making sure to cover it generously.

10. Step 10

    To finish, sprinkle the remaining two tablespoons of sugar on top for a delightful sweetness.

11. Step 11

    Slide your dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until you see the rhubarb bubbling joyfully and the topping turns a lovely golden brown.

12. Step 12

    The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a warm, comforting dessert that’s perfect for sharing—or savoring all by yourself! Enjoy every bite of this delightful rhubarb treat!.
