Units
Scale
- 3 cups chopped rhubarb
- 3 cups sliced strawberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square or round baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, strawberries, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well and pour into prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg. Add to the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the fruit mixture, covering as evenly as possible.
- Sprinkle coarse sugar over the topping if desired.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen fruit – if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid.
- Substitute buttermilk for milk for a tangier topping.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
