Raspberry Rhubarb Biscuit Cobblers Recipes

RHUBARB RASPBERRY COBBLER WITH CORNMEAL BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For filling, in a large bowl, toss together rhubarb, raspberries, sugar and cornstarch. Allow mixture to stand while preparing biscuit dough.
• To prepare biscuits, place flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine (or whisk everything together in a bowl).
• Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal (or use 2 knives to cut butter into flour mixture). Pour in cream and continue pulsing (or stir) until dough starts to come together, scraping down sides of bowl if necessary.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it together. Divide it equally into 8 balls, then flatten them slightly into thick rounds. Biscuit dough can be made up to a day in advance and refrigerated, covered, until needed.
• Scrape filling and accumulated juices into a 2 1/2-quart gratin or baking dish (9 by 12 inches). Arrange biscuits on top of filling and brush with cream. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until filling is bubbling and biscuits are golden.

RASPBERRY-RHUBARB BISCUIT COBBLERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F with rack in center. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl, toss together raspberries, rhubarb, 1 1/4 cups sugar, tapioca, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt; stir to combine. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring once or twice. Divide filling among six 10-ounce baking dishes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together both flours, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, lemon zest, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add yogurt, and stir with a fork to form a moist dough with the consistency of thick cake batter. Using a large spoon, top filling with dollops of dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
• Brush tops of dough with cream; sprinkle lightly with sanding sugar. Transfer baking dishes to prepared baking sheet; bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until biscuits are golden brown and juices are bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes. (If the biscuits are browning too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.) Cool on a wire rack, at least 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F, with racks in the center and lower third. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl, toss together the raspberries, rhubarb, 1 1/4 cups sugar, tapioca, lemon juice, and pinch of salt; stir to combine. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring once or twice. Divide the filling among six to eight 10-ounce baking dishes, or pour into a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.

• Cobblers how-to
• This easy, biscuit-style topping is dropped by heaping tablespoons onto the fruit filling before baking.

RHUBARB RASPBERRY CRISP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, sugar, orange juice and peel. In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in butter as for pastry. Add oats and pecans; mix well. Turn rhubarb mixture into an 8-in. square baking pan. Sprinkle evenly with raspberries and cover with crumb topping. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until topping is browned.

PINEAPPLE, RHUBARB, AND RASPBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• To make the filling, in a large bowl, mix together the rhubarb, pineapple, raspberries, the 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar, 2 tablespoons (15 g) flour, vanilla, and kirsch, if using, until combined. Transfer the mixture to a shallow 2-quart (2-liter) baking dish and bake until the fruit is heated through, about 40 minutes, stirring several times during baking.
• While the filling bakes, make the biscuits. Into the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl if making by hand), sift together the 3 cups (420 g) flour, 2 tablespoons (30 g) sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter pieces to the flour mixture. Mix briefly in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or by hand with a pastry blender) until the butter is mostly incorporated, but small chunks are still visible. Stir in 3/4 cup (180 ml) cream or buttermilk and mix until the dough begins to come together. Gather the dough into a ball with your hands; if the dough is too dry to hold together, gradually mix in additional cream or buttermilk until it does.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough until it is 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick. Using a 3-inch (8-cm) round biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut out 8 biscuits. (You may need to gather the dough scraps and roll them out again in order to make 8 biscuits.) Set the biscuits aside until needed. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and cream or milk to make an egg wash.
• When the filling is ready, remove the baking dish from the oven and arrange the biscuits on top of the filling. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash. Return the baking dish to the oven and continue baking until the biscuits are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serving
• Serve warm with Vanilla Ice Cream (page 143).
• tip
• Have a sheet of aluminum foil on the lower rack of the oven during baking since this cobbler is quite juicy and the foil will catch any spills.

RASPBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Make the filling: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Pour into a 9-inch square baking dish (2 inches deep).
• Make the biscuit topping: Whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in butter until largest pieces are the size of small peas. Add cream, and use a fork to incorporate, stirring just until cream is absorbed (there should be lots of loose pieces).
• Turn out dough onto a clean surface, and knead once or twice, gathering loose bits into ball. Pat dough to a 1 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 9 rough squares, and place them on top of filling. Brush with cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Bake cobbler until bubbling in center and biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through, about 1 hour (loosely tent with foil if biscuit topping gets too dark). Let stand at least 30 minutes before serving.
