In Sweden we love rhubarb pie. Highly recommend that people try it. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

@Kurt Smithson Sounds like she made a rhubarb crisp but didn't do the crisp part.

[@camscornerbooks]

Rhubarb is one of the most underrated ingredients for baking ❤❤❤❤ Straight rhubarb pie (no strawberries!) is phenomenal

[@lindainparis7349]

With real custard. Or even Bird's-eye's, for school memories...

I had just picked up some rhubarb from the market without really having a recipe in mind yet but seeing rhubarbs back in season at a good price made me pick it up. I open KZbin and voila, your recipe. Literally perfect timing

There's a bakery here in Toronto that makes AMAZING strawberry rhubarb scones in the summer. Now I'm going to have to try this recipe. 😁

[@torontohomestead9254]

What's it called?

[@sylphofthewildwoods5518]

Yummy! Thank you @Food Wishes. My mother was making strawberry rhubarb pies back in the 70's. We grew it in the lawn. I would love to make this and take her some!

[@angelad.8944]

So excited to try this recipe. My back yard is exploding with this years rhubarb. 😃Alas, animal milk products are not my friends so I have an alternative that works for the dairy free or vegan crowds. For every 1 cup of buttermilk called for in your baking recipe, whisk 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar into the dry ingredients in your recipe and whisk 1 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage or unsweetened dairy-free creamer of choice for the liquid part. Cream of tartar is a powder with a tang that mimics the buttermilk flavor nicely.

[@lfeco]

Thanks Angela D. Any dairy product and me are a big no no also. I didn't know about the cream of tartar. Always have almond milk on hand.

[@hellomimibanana]

I love that you dont use any fancy kitchen gadgets. These look delicious!

[@bigfatchubbybritboy9445]

Rhubarb is extremely common and a popular ingredient here in the UK. Its used in quite a few desserts and savoury dishes(especially as part of a condiment or chutney for meats)

[@lindainparis7349]

Yep. I also remember (pre stainless steel pans) it being used to clean aluminium pans by being boiled up in them. I don't THINK it was eaten afterwards...

[@lindainparis7349]

BTW, rhubarb fool and rhubarb sorbet are part of my favourites...

When eating it as a stand alone fruit, I prefer pears to strawberries, so I'd couple diced pear with the rhubarb for these drop biscuits. I like that this recipe is simple enough for non-bakers and folks who struggle with dough recipes. Thanks, these look delicious!

[@SamBrickell]

Chef John! I was reading a book (a novel, not a cookbook) and I found your exact Lemonade recipe explained in the novel. :D

I Love Rhubarb ❤ .... when I was little (5 or 6) my Grandma introduced me to it....she knew I Loved Lemons so she cut some from her garden and gave it a quick wash then sprinkled it with salt.....sooooo Awesome! I've had Strawberry Rhubarb pie and cobbler (with a scoop of Cinnamon ice cream) but I had never heard of the Biscuits..... Thank U!!!

[@podklenom]

My grandmother used Rhubarb for summer cold drink "compot" - you need to boil water with sugar and rhubarb for 10 min. It was delicious and healthy : )

[@firouzehj.7612]

Just made a batch. My scooper is half the size of yours. So, I ended up with 20 smaller ones, baked in two trays. Timing/temperature needed to be adjusted. They were full of crunchy and crispy nooks and crannies. I lined my baking sheets with two pads each, prevented the bottom of becoming too dark. Soooo gooooood.

[@george-1961]

I’m definitely going to make this 😋

[@ampersand.8888]

I’m pretty sure strawberry rhubarb pie is the regional pie of Cascadia (Washington, Oregon, the populated areas of British Columbia).

[@GrifterE]

I remember my Grandmother doing the maseration method to just about every fruit she used in cooking. It's a great way to pre sauce-ify.

[@lisarose3824]

I made these twice. Because I have some very happy rhubarb plants in my garden. The first batch I followed the recipe verbatim & they turned out a bit flat & sloppy. So the next batch I made dryer by not using quite all the buttermilk, and I used silicone baking cups, just in case. (I also added a pinch of cardamom). I dropped the temp to 425° Wish I could post a pic they turned out so fantastically !!

Very grateful for a simple baking recipe! (Although I never saw my mom or dad grate butter like that)

I guess I'm pretty fortunate that I've got a rhubarb plant that always grows in a corner of my backyard, so I don't need to ever buy any. As a kid, I always tried to find a way to eat raw rhubarb but could never go further than two bites. And then the following year, forgot just how sour it is and try again.

Since strawberry-rhubarb pie is my favorite pie, this looks great. Although, I will probably add orange zest to the dough. Yum.

0:30 actually I grow my own rhubarb. Since I live so far north, it grows like a weed here. It gets buried in snow, and plowed over every winter but that only seems to stimulate it. I give massive bags of chopped rhubarb to my mom all summer and into the winter. As such, she supplies me with epic rhubarb coffee cake and pies CONSTANTLY.

Personally I've never understood the popularity of the strawberry/rhubarb combination, both are far superior on their own.

I would consider adding a little bit of candied ginger, then splitting the baked biscuits and serving like a strawberry shortcake. Perhaps with clotted cream instead of whipped cream

My favorite pie from my youth is strawberry-rhubarb. It is a shame you can't purchase it commercially. I don't recall ever having the same set of ingredients baked as biscuits (or what I would consider a scone) but it certainly makes sense. I'll have to give it a try.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

You can. Lots of places sell strawberry rhubarb pie. Just call around to bakeries or restaurants that serve pie.

[@KurtisRader]

@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 Must be a regional thing. On the west coast (specifically Portland, OR, and San Jose, CA where I have spent most of my life) I have never encountered a restaurant serving my beloved pie. Nor do any of the major frozen pie companies (e.g., Sara Lee) provide that option. At least I've never seen one in any grocery store.

[@gaborbartok6398]

It looks delicious! I have one technical question. If you pour in the fruit juices right after you stirred in the fruit, why did you drain them in the first place? I would understand if you measured the liquid and adjusted the butter milk amount accordingly.
