Instructions
Strawberry Rhubarb Filling
Preheat the oven to 350˚ and grease a 10" cast iron skillet with butter or baking spray.
Combine all of the remaining filling ingredients in the buttered skillet and toss them gently to combine.
Biscuit Topping
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine and to make sure there are no longer any lumps.
Add cold butter pieces to the bowl with the dry ingredients and using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it is evenly distributed throughout and about the size of small peas.
Add in milk and vanilla and gently stir until the mixture just forms a dough.
Drop the biscuit dough by the spoonful on top of the filling until it mostly covers the fruit.
Brush the top of the biscuit dough with milk and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the biscuits are golden brown. To help avoid any mess in the oven, place a baking sheet on the rack below the skillet to catch any accidental drips or bubble overs.
Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Can be served hot or at room temperature.
Notes
Don't overwork the biscuit topping when you are mixing it together so it doesn't get too dense.
Place a sheet pan underneath the skillet during baking to catch any accidental drips and bubble overs.
Let the strawberry rhubarb cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Cobbler can be served warm or at room temperature.
Different fruit - Instead of strawberries and rhubarb, try raspberries, blueberries, cherries, or even a mix!
Dairy free - To make this dish dairy free, substitute the butter with your favorite plant based butter substitute and replace the milk with unsweetened dairy free milk.
Pre-made biscuits - If you aren't feeling up to making your own drop biscuits, your favorite pre-made refrigerated biscuit dough can be used instead.
