How to Make Rhubarb Cobbler

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  4. Stir in 4 cups chopped rhubarb and 1/2 cup water.
  5. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  6. Pour rhubarb mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of cold butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  9. Cut in 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and 1 large egg.
  11. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients all at once, stirring gently just until moistened. Do not overmix.
  12. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 9-inch square.
  13. Place the dough on top of the rhubarb filling.
  14. Sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional).
  15. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  16. If the topping is not browning quickly enough, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
