Ingredients
UnitsScale
1cup strawberries, fresh or frozen (sliced)
2cups rhubarb, fresh or frozen (cut into 1/2 in. pieces)
2 3/4cup all-purpose flour
2/3cup butter or shortening (plus 1 tbsp)
1cup milk
4 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3cup sugar
2cup water
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
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.
Add flour, baking powder and salt to a large bowl and stir to combine.
Cut in butter or shortening using a pastry blender until it resembles a coarse meal. Add milk and stir with a fork until moistened.
Turn dough out onto a flour covered board and knead gently 20 times. Roll dough into a 10×12 rectangle.
In a bowl, combine strawberry, rhubarb, cinnamon and 1/3 cup of sugar. Spread evenly on top of dough. Dot with 1 tbsp of butter.
Roll into a log and cut into 10-12 even pieces. Place slices in 9×13 pan with sugar mixture and bake at 450 for 25 minutes, then at 390 for 20 minutes.
Serve warm with cream if desired.
Enjoy!
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
