Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler

6 individual half-cup servings

Ingredients

For the filling:

• 3 cups strawberries, sliced
• 3 cups rhubarb, sliced
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/2 to 1 cup no-calorie granulated sweetener, such as Splenda, to taste
• 1 tablespoon uncooked tapioca    
• 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey, such as Jamesons (or similar)

For the biscuits: 

• 1 cup all-purpose white flour, plus more for the board
• 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener, such as Splenda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons canola or other vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup low-fat milk plus 3 tablespoons for brushing the crust

Method

Make the filling:

1. Place the fruit and the lemon juice in a saucepan on medium low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. 

2. Stir in a half-cup of the sweetener and taste the mixture. Add more sweetener if necessary, to taste. 

3. Stir in the tapioca and whiskey and then divide the filling among six half-cup ramekins. They will be nearly full. 

Make the biscuit: 

1. Preheat the oven to 425º.

2. Combine the flour, sweetener and baking powder in a bowl. 

3. Add the milk and oil and stir with a fork just enough to mix. 

4. Turn the dough out on a floured board and roll or pat the dough to approximately 1/2 inch thick. 

5. Cut the dough into six rounds with a cutter slightly larger in diameter than the ramekins. 

6. Place the dough rounds on the filled ramekins and brush with milk. Sprinkle with a little sugar if desired. 

Bake in the preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes, until nicely browned. Serve warm.
