Rhubarb Raspberry Cobbler With Cornmeal Biscuits Recipes

RHUBARB-RASPBERRY BISCUIT COBBLERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with rack in center. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• In a large bowl, stir together rhubarb, raspberries, 1 1/4 cups sugar, tapioca, lemon juice, and a pinch salt. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring once or twice. Divide filling among six 10-ounce baking dishes, or pour into a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
• 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. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add yogurt, and stir with a fork until dough consistency resembles a thick cake batter.
• Using a large spoon, top filling with dollops of dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Brush dough with cream. Transfer baking dishes to prepared baking sheet. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until biscuits are golden-brown and juices are bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. (If 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 with a dollop of creme fraiche.

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.
