Ingredients

Scale
  • Rhubarb Filling:
    • ¾ cup white sugar
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • 4 cups chopped rhubarb
    • 1 tablespoon water
    • 1 tablespoon butter, diced
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Topping:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour

    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ cup cold butter, cubed
    • ¼ cup milk
    • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
