Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 6 cups chopped rhubarb
  • 3 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (set aside for top crust)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Chop the fresh rhubarb to make 6 cups. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl mix together the flour and brown sugar.
  • Then use a pastry blender (or food processor) to cut in the butter. The mixture should look like coarse sand.
  • Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the flour mixture and set aside.
  • Take the remaining flour mixture and press it into a 9×13 baking dish.
  • Bake it in the oven for 15 minutes, until the crust is lightly golden.
  • While the crust is baking, you can make the custard: Beat the eggs until creamy, then add the vanilla, 1/4 cup of flour, the sugar, cream and salt. Mix until smooth (I like to use a hand blender to do this).
  • Once the bottom crust has finished baking, sprinkle the chopped rhubarb evenly over it.
  • Then pour the egg mixture over the rhubarb (see image above). Do not mix.
  • Then take the remaining flour mixture and stir in 1 tsp of ground cinnamon.
  • Then sprinkle the remaining flour mixture over the top of the custard.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes, until the custard is set and the crust is golden.
  • Let the rhubarb custard cobbler rest for about 1 hour, allowing the custard to finish setting.
