Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

• 4 cups Chopped Rhubarb
• 1-½ cup Sugar
• ¼ teaspoons Salt
• 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
• ½ teaspoons Almond Extract (optional)
• 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 2 Tablespoons Sugar
• ¼ teaspoons Salt
• 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
• ¼ cups Vegetable Shortening Or Lard
• ¼ cups Butter
• ½ cups Whole Milk
• 1 whole Egg

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a bowl, combine rhubarb, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, lemon juice, and almond extract if using. Stir and set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and baking powder. Stir together. Add shortening and butter, then cut together with a pastry cutter.

Beat egg and milk together. Pour into flour mixture and stir with a fork until just combined.

Pour rhubarb into a buttered baking dish. Tear off pinches of dough and drop it onto the surface of the fruit, creating a “cobbled” texture. Sprinkle additional sugar over the top.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
