Ingredients

Scale
For Filling
- 2 cups rhubarb, chopped and drained
- 8 ounces strawberry, sliced and halved
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon Molasses (optional)
For Topping
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 Tablespoon butter, melted but not hot
- 3 Tablespoons whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit
- In large bowl, mix all filling ingredients and set aside.
- In separate bowl combine topping sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add butter and mix well with a fork or spoon. It should start to be feeling like a dough.
- Add two tablespoons of milk and mix with fork and hand. It should be able to stay together, but may be a bit crumbly. If the dough will not stay together, add another tablespoon of milk and mix well.
- In a 1 ½ Quart Baking dish, dump filling and spread evenly.
- The end goal is to have 6 patties of dough on top of the filling for baking. Take about 1/6 of the dough (maybe golf ball size) and form into a patty in your hand. We want thise patties fairly thin. 1/2 inch or so. If it gets a little crumbly, that is 100% ok. In fact, that is good. This does not need to be perfect. Place in corner of dish.
- Repeat until the filling is fairly well covered with 6 patties.
- If there are leftover crumbles from your topping, just sprinkle them across the top.
- Bake in oven for 50 minutes.
- Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes and then serve.
Notes
- Don’t take the cobbler topping too seriously. It will be crumbly, bumbly, and good.
- Take all the left-over cobbler topping crumbs from forming the topping and spread it evenly over the cobbler.
- I use a shallow 1 ½ quart Corningware dish, but you could also use a normal 9×9 baking dish.
- Consider serving warm and with ice cream or whipped cream.
