How to Make Easy Rhubarb Cobbler

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, gently combine the 4 cups chopped rhubarb and 1 cup granulated sugar. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Cut in the 1/2 cup cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 large egg and 1/2 cup half-and-half.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter evenly over the rhubarb mixture in the baking dish.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving warm. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
