    🍓 Ingredient notes

    • Strawberry rhubarb filling - Made with fresh fruit, sugar, a little bit of lemon juice, and some cornstarch, this filling is easy to put together. I recommend cutting the fruit into similar sized pieces to help with even cooking.
    • Biscuit topping - This homemade biscuit dough takes just a few minutes to put together. After you drop the biscuit dough onto the fruit filling I recommend brushing the top of the dough with a little bit of milk and sprinkling it with a little bit of sugar. This helps the biscuits to brown nicely and also gives them a bit of extra sweetness.

    🥣 Step by step instructions

    First, butter a 10" cast iron skillet and add all of the ingredients for the filling into it. Toss them gently to combine everything together.

    Next, combine the dry ingredients for the biscuit dough in a bowl and whisk to combine and remove any lumps. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut in the cold butter pieces until they are crumbly and evenly mixed throughout the flour.

    Next, brush the biscuit dough lightly with milk and sprinkle with a tablespoon or two of sugar.

    Bake in a 350˚ oven for about 30-35 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown.

    I recommend letting the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    ⭐ Top tip

    Place a sheet pan underneath the skillet during baking to catch any accidental drips and bubble overs!

    📋 Variations

    • Different fruit - Instead of strawberries and rhubarb, try raspberries, blueberries, cherries, or even a mix!
    • Dairy free - To make this dish dairy free, substitute the butter with your favorite plant based butter substitute and replace the milk with unsweetened dairy free milk.
    • Premade biscuits - If you aren't feeling up to making your own drop biscuits, your favorite premade refrigerated biscuit dough can be used instead.

    🥘 Alternative cooking methods

    • No cast iron skillet - If you don't have a cast iron skillet, a 10" round cake pan or 2 quart casserole dish can be used instead.

    Ingredients
      

    Strawberry Rhubarb Filling

    • 2 ½ cups strawberries chopped
    • 2 ½ cups rhubarb chopped
    • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch

    Biscuit Topping

    • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
    • ¼ cup sugar plus extra for topping
    • 2 Tablespoons baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
    • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
    • ⅔ cup whole milk plus extra for topping
    • ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

    Instructions
     

    Strawberry Rhubarb Filling

    • Preheat the oven to 350˚ and grease a 10" cast iron skillet with butter or baking spray.
    • Combine all of the remaining filling ingredients in the buttered skillet and toss them gently to combine.

    Biscuit Topping

    • In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine and to make sure there are no longer any lumps.
    • Add cold butter pieces to the bowl with the dry ingredients and using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it is evenly distributed throughout and about the size of small peas.
    • Add in milk and vanilla and gently stir until the mixture just forms a dough.
    • Drop the biscuit dough by the spoonful on top of the filling until it mostly covers the fruit.
    • Brush the top of the biscuit dough with milk and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
    • Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown. To help avoid any mess in the oven, place a baking sheet on the rack below the skillet to catch any accidental drips or bubble overs.
    • Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Can be served hot or at room temperature.

    Notes

    • This dessert can be made in a 10" round cake pan or 2 quart casserole dish instead of a cast iron skillet
