Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 cup Sugar Sweetens the filling; feel free to reduce for a less sweet cobbler.
  • 2 cups Rhubarb Adds a tangy flavor; can be substituted with peaches or blueberries for variety.
  • 2 cups Strawberries Fresh is best, but frozen (thawed and drained) works too.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness to the filling; replace with vegan butter for a dairy-free option.
For the Crust
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Gives structure to both the filling and crust; a gluten-free flour blend can be used if needed.
  • 1/2 cup Canola Oil Used to create flakiness in the crust; sunflower or vegetable oils are good substitutes.
  • 4-6 tablespoons Warm Water Hydrates the dough for a perfect texture.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavors throughout the cobbler.
For the Topping
  • 2 tablespoons Milk Brushed on the crust to achieve a lovely golden color; non-dairy milk can be used.
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated or Coarse Sugar Sprinkled on top for an extra touch of sweetness and crunch.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • baking dish
  • wax paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grab a large mixing bowl. Whisk together sugar and flour until well combined. Add in the sliced rhubarb and strawberries, tossing gently to coat the fruit thoroughly. Once coated, transfer the fruity mixture into a greased 11×7-inch baking dish. For an extra touch of flavor, dot the filling with a few small pieces of butter.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until evenly blended. In another bowl, whisk together the canola oil and warm water. Gradually pour this wet mixture into the flour mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
  3. To shape your crust, roll out the sticky dough between two sheets of wax paper until it forms an 11×7-inch rectangle. Carefully flip the rolled dough over the prepared fruit filling, peeling off the wax paper.
  4. Brush the top of the crust with milk to achieve a golden color as it bakes. Sprinkle granulated or coarse sugar over the crust for a delightful crunch. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes.
  5. Once baked, remove the Strawberry-Rhubarb Cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Cut steam vents into the crust before baking to prevent excess moisture from making it soggy. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or freeze for up to three months. Warm refrigerated cobbler in an oven at 350°F for 15 minutes before serving.
