Rhubarb Filling
- 2 pounds rhubarb about 6 cups, sliced into ½-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom (cinnamon may be substituted)
Crust Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons butter cold and grated
- ¼ cup boiling hot water
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch, and cardamom. Stir to coat and then pour into a 1.5-2 quart (8-9" size) baking dish. Bake the filling for 10 minutes.
While the filling is in the oven, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and whisk to combine. Toss the grated butter into the flour mixture. Stir in the boiling water, just until combined, leaving plenty of little lumps of butter.
Remove the rhubarb mixture from the oven and drop the topping over the warm filling in spoonfuls. (I like to use my smallest cookie scoop to do this.)
Sprinkle the cobbler topping with the cinnamon sugar topping. Bake until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean, about 20-24 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
