1.5poundsrhubarbsliced into 1/2" pieces
1poundstrawberrieshulled and quartered
¾cupsugar
2tablespoonscornstarch
2tablespoonsinstant tapioca
1tablespoonfreshly squeezed orange juice
1teaspoonorange zest
for the biscuit dough:
1cupall-purpose flour
3tablespoonspacked brown sugar
2teaspoonsbaking powder
¼teaspoonkosher salt
3tablespoonsunsalted butterchilled and diced
⅓cupmilk
2tablespoonssugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375° F.
For the strawberry rhubarb filling: In a medium bowl, toss rhubarb and strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, tapioca, orange juice, and orange zest. Let stand for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
For the biscuit dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. With a rigid pastry blender or a fork, cut butter into dry mixture until incorporated and crumbly. Drizzle milk evenly over the top of the mixture and then stir together just until evenly moistened. Do not overmix. Dough will be thick.
To assemble: Transfer strawberry rhubarb filling to a deep baking dish (the oval dish shown in my photos is about 9 x 11 inches, with tall sides). Using a spoon, drop dough onto top of strawberry rhubarb filling, dividing evenly into 8 dough mounds. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of sugar evenly over the dough mounds.
Bake, uncovered, for about 40 minutes, until biscuits are browned and filling juices are thickened and bubbling nicely. Remove from oven to a cooling rack. Let cool for about 30 minutes before serving. This is great with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream—or a dollop of whipped cream, or a splash of cream.
