(Mass Appeal) – The Diva of Deliciousness, Tinky Weisblat, is celebrating 10 years on Mass Appeal. In honor of that, she’s recreating her famous rhubarb cobbler dish for you to make too.
Ingredients:
for the rhubarb base:
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 cups chopped rhubarb
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter, diced
for the cobbler crust:
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
for the topping:
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Cooking Directions:
Begin by making the base. Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a smallish nonreactive pot. Stir in the rhubarb and lemon juice. Cover this mixture and let it sit for an hour or two until the rhubarb juices up.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 1-1/2-quart casserole dish.
Uncover the rhubarb mixture and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil, stirring gently, for 1 minute. Remove the fruit from the heat and stir in the cinnamon. Spread the rhubarb mixture in the prepared pan. Dot the top with butter.
To make the crust whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter, but don’t overdo the process. You should still have tiny pieces of butter in the mixture.
Whisk together the milk and egg. Add them to the dry ingredients, and mix just until moist. Drop this mixture onto the rhubarb mixture, and spread it around to cover the fruit. Sprinkle the brown sugar over all in little clumps. Bake until lightly browned. Serve with whipped cream or the topping of your choice. (It’s good all alone, too.)
