Rhubarb Raspberry Cobbler With Cornmeal Biscuits Food

RHUBARB-RASPBERRY BISCUIT COBBLERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• In a large bowl, stir together rhubarb, raspberries, 1 1/4 cups sugar, tapioca, lemon juice, and a pinch salt. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring once or twice. Divide filling among six 10-ounce baking dishes, or pour into a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together both flours, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, lemon zest, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add yogurt, and stir with a fork until dough consistency resembles a thick cake batter.
• Using a large spoon, top filling with dollops of dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush dough with cream. Transfer baking dishes to prepared baking sheet. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until biscuits are golden-brown and juices are bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. (If browning too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.) Cool on a wire rack, at least 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of creme fraiche.

RHUBARB RASPBERRY COBBLER WITH CORNMEAL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For filling, in a large bowl, toss together rhubarb, raspberries, sugar and cornstarch. Allow mixture to stand while preparing biscuit dough.
• To prepare biscuits, place flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine (or whisk everything together in a bowl).
• Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal (or use 2 knives to cut butter into flour mixture). Pour in cream and continue pulsing (or stir) until dough starts to come together, scraping down sides of bowl if necessary.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it together. Divide it equally into 8 balls, then flatten them slightly into thick rounds. Biscuit dough can be made up to a day in advance and refrigerated, covered, until needed.
• Scrape filling and accumulated juices into a 2 1/2-quart gratin or baking dish (9 by 12 inches). Arrange biscuits on top of filling and brush with cream. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until filling is bubbling and biscuits are golden.

RHUBARB COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch square baking dish.
• In a saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch for filling. Stir in the rhubarb and water. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Dot with butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
• In a medium bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for topping. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl, mix together milk and egg. Add all at once to dry ingredients, stirring just to moisten. Drop by teaspoonfuls on top of the rhubarb mixture. Sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until crisp and lightly browned.

PINEAPPLE, RHUBARB, AND RASPBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• To make the filling, in a large bowl, mix together the rhubarb, pineapple, raspberries, the 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar, 2 tablespoons (15 g) flour, vanilla, and kirsch, if using, until combined. Transfer the mixture to a shallow 2-quart (2-liter) baking dish and bake until the fruit is heated through, about 40 minutes, stirring several times during baking.
• While the filling bakes, make the biscuits. Into the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl if making by hand), sift together the 3 cups (420 g) flour, 2 tablespoons (30 g) sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter pieces to the flour mixture. Mix briefly in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or by hand with a pastry blender) until the butter is mostly incorporated, but small chunks are still visible. Stir in 3/4 cup (180 ml) cream or buttermilk and mix until the dough begins to come together. Gather the dough into a ball with your hands; if the dough is too dry to hold together, gradually mix in additional cream or buttermilk until it does.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough until it is 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Using a 3-inch (8-cm) round biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut out 8 biscuits. (You may need to gather the dough scraps and roll them out again in order to make 8 biscuits.) Set the biscuits aside until needed. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and cream or milk to make an egg wash.
• When the filling is ready, remove the baking dish from the oven and arrange the biscuits on top of the filling. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash. Return the baking dish to the oven and continue baking until the biscuits are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serving
• Serve warm with Vanilla Ice Cream (page 143).
• tip
• Have a sheet of aluminum foil on the lower rack of the oven during baking since this cobbler is quite juicy and the foil will catch any spills.
