Old Fashioned Rhubarb Cobbler Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread rhubarb into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Beat 3/4 cup white sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth; stir in 1 cup flour, milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour batter over rhubarb.
• Mix 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl; sprinkle over batter. Pour boiling water over sugar mixture layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cobbler is lightly browned, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch square baking dish.
• In a saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch for filling. Stir in the rhubarb and water. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Dot with butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for topping. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl, mix together milk and egg. Add all at once to dry ingredients, stirring just to moisten. Drop by teaspoonfuls on top of the rhubarb mixture. Sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until crisp and lightly browned.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Using the tip of a paring knife, scrape the pulp out of the vanilla bean halves and add the pulp to a 1 1/2 quart gratin or baking dish or 9-by-9-inch pan along with the scraped-out pods. (Alternatively, add the paste or extract to the pan.) Add the rhubarb, sugar, zest and salt, and toss well. Let sit at room temperature to macerate while preparing the biscuit dough.
• Make the biscuit dough: Put the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Add cubed butter, then pulse until the mixture has formed lime bean-size pieces. Drizzle in 1/3 cup heavy cream and pulse until everything just clumps together, taking care not to overprocess. (To make the dough by hand, put the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add cubed butter, then mix it in with your hands, pinching and squeezing with your fingers - or use a pastry blender - until the largest pieces are the size of peas. Drizzle in 1/3 cup heavy cream a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.)
• Dump the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and gently pat it together until it's a cohesive lump. Using a small ice cream scoop or a large spoon, form dough into 6 evenly sized balls. Slightly flatten dough balls into thick rounds. Cover rounds with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes (and up to 6 hours).
• Put the rhubarb in the oven and roast, stirring halfway through, until the rhubarb has softened and the liquid has formed a syrup, about 30 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and use tongs to remove the vanilla bean pods.
• Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees. Arrange biscuit rounds on top of the rhubarb, leaving space in between them. Brush biscuits with remaining tablespoon of heavy cream and sprinkle with Demerara sugar.
• Bake cobbler until biscuits are golden brown, about 25 to 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, with cream or ice cream, if you like.

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.

Steps:

• Place rhubarb in a 13x9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle 1 cup sugar over and dot with butter. In a bowl, cream shortening and remaining sugar. Beat in egg. Sift together flour and baking powder; add alternately with milk to creamed mixture. Drop by tablespoonfuls over rhubarb. Bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
