Rhubarb Cobbler with Dough Topping is a delightful way to enjoy a tangy-sweet dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. I got hooked on rhubarb cobbler during family gatherings in the summer, especially when my grandma made her special version of it. It’s a straightforward yet nostalgic treat that combines tart rhubarb with a buttery, tender dough topping. If you love a mix of tart and sweet flavors, this is a must-try. Plus, it’s a great way to use up any rhubarb you might have growing in your garden or found at the farmer’s market.
Rhubarb Cobbler is fantastic on its own, but if you want to make it extra special, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a cozy touch, enjoy it alongside a hot cup of coffee or tea. If you’re serving this at a gathering, consider pairing it with a light salad or some grilled chicken to balance out the richness of the cobbler.
Rhubarb Cobbler with Dough Topping
Servings: 6
Ingredients
4 cups rhubarb, chopped
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, 1 cup of sugar, and cornstarch. Stir until the rhubarb is well-coated and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
Pour the rhubarb mixture into a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish.
Spread the dough mixture evenly over the rhubarb.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a slightly different flavor, you can add a handful of strawberries to the rhubarb mixture. Some people also like to sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg into the topping for an extra warm spice. If you’re looking to cut down on sugar, you can reduce the amount used in the filling without compromising too much on flavor.
