Ingredients

Rhubarb Filling

  • 2 pounds rhubarb about 6 cups, sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
