Total Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs rhubarb chopped into 1″ pieces
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 T orange juice
  • 2 T unsalted butter
    ————————–
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, cold, cut into small cubes
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Filling: In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, combine the rhubarb, cornstarch, both sugars, the juice, and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir gently to coat, then set aside while you prepare the biscuit topping.
  • Dry Mix: In a bowl, stir together the dry ingredients and the lemon zest.
  • Cut In: Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Batter: Beat the egg with a fork to break it up, then stir in the milk. Add the egg-milk mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Don’t overmix—some small lumps are fine. Set aside.
  • Preheat Grill: Set your gas grill to medium and place the skillet on the grate. Adjust the burners as needed to maintain about 400°F throughout cooking.
  • Cook Filling: Carefully stir the rhubarb mixture with a wooden spoon until it begins to bubble, then let it simmer for 1 full minute.
  • Top: Spoon the biscuit dough around the perimeter of the pan first, then fill in the center, making about 10 biscuits.
  • Bake: Close the grill lid and cook for about 20 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown, firm to the touch, and fluffy (not wet).
  • Cool: Using a pot holder, remove the skillet from the grill and place it on a trivet. Let cool for about 30 minutes.
  • Serve: Spoon into bowls and serve with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
  • For Oven-Baking:
     Filling (Oven): Combine the rhubarb filling ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and boil for 1 minute. Pour into an oven-safe baking dish and set aside.
  • Biscuit & Bake: Prepare the biscuits as directed above and spoon over the filling. Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
  • Serve and Enjoy!
