Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)
- 2 cups Fresh rhubarb (diced)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe dish and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cherries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Toss until the fruits are evenly coated. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In another medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, diced butter and, using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly stir in the milk until just combined, forming a soft dough. Avoid overmixing.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the fruit mixture, covering most of the surface but leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
If desired, sprinkle the top of the dough with coarse sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
