Ingredients
  

For the strawberry and rhubarb filling:

  • 1 lb strawberries hulled and halved
  • 5 cups rhubarb cut into ½ inch pieces
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

For the biscuits:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar plus more for sprinkling
  • 8 tablespoons cold butter cut into small pieces
  • ½ cup buttermilk plus more for brushing
  • 1 egg
  • ½ chopped pistachios

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 10 or 12-inch skillet or 3-quart baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, toss strawberries and rhubarb with sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract, and cornstarch.
  • Transfer fruit mixture to skillet or baking dish.
  • To make the biscuits, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt to a food processor (or large bowl) and pulse until combined (or whisk by hand in bowl). Add butter and pulse until crumbly (or use a pastry cutter or forks). It should resemble coarse meal. If using a food processor, transfer flour mixture to large bowl, then stir in pistachios. Whisk together buttermilk and egg and add to flour mixture. Mix together with a spoon until just combined, creating a slightly tacky, very crumbly dough. Try not to over mix.
  • Flour your hands (you may have to flour hands a couple times) and gently form dough into 6-7 round, slightly flat biscuits. Place biscuits on top of the strawberry rhubarb mixture. Lightly brush the biscuits with buttermilk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Bake cobbler for 40-45 minutes until fruit is tender and bubbly and biscuits are cooked through and golden brown. If the biscuits are browning too quickly, lay a piece of tinfoil over the cobbler for the last 10 minutes.
  • Serve cobbler warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
