Rhubarb Mint Cobbler
- 2 pounds rhubarb stalks
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped spearmint
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Wash the rhubarb and trim the tops and bottoms.
- Slice it into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Put it in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and mix in the sugar and mint.
- Dot with the butter.
- Bake the rhubarb for 20 minutes or until it softens and bubbles around the edges, take it out of the oven, and stir it gently with a rubber spatula.
- While the rhubarb is baking, make the biscuits.
- Put the flour, baking powder, salt, and 3 tablespoons of the sugar in a food processor and turn it on just long enough to mix the ingredients.
- Add the butter and pulse until the largest pieces of butter are smaller than grains of rice.
- Pour in the cream and pulse just until the dough gathers in clumps.
- Turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
- Lightly form each piece into a shaggy disk the size of a sausage patty, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Arrange the biscuits on top of the hot rhubarb and sprinkle them with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Put the dish back in the oven and bake another 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are nicely browned.
- Serve the cobbler warm with vanilla or strawberry ice cream or sweetened creme fraiche.
- If you grow angelia, replace the spearmint with 3/4 cup finely chopped young angelica stems.
