Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen (sliced)
  • 2 cups rhubarb, fresh or frozen (cut into 1/2 in. pieces)
  • 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup butter or shortening (plus 1 tbsp)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup sugar and two cups water in a 9×13 baking dish. Heat in a 400 oven until dissolved (about 15 min). Then set aside.
  2. Add flour, baking powder and salt to a large bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Cut in butter or shortening using a pastry blender until it resembles a coarse meal. Add milk and stir with a fork until moistened.

  7. Serve warm with cream if desired.

Notes

  • If using frozen fruit, make sure to thaw and drain before measuring
  • To cut into even slices: I cut in half and then continue to cut each piece in half until you have 10-12 even slices
