Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

900g rhubarb , chopped into 3cm slices
zest and juice 2 medium orange
140g caster sugar
200g self-raising flour
85g butter , cut into pieces
150ml milk
2 tbsp flaked almond
mascarpone or crème fraîche , to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Place the rhubarb in a pan with the orange juice and 50g/2oz of the sugar. Heat gently to dissolve the sugar, then cover and cook for a few mins until the rhubarb is softened but still holding its shape, about 5 mins. Tip into a 1.5-litre gratin dish.
  • Put the flour, orange zest and remaining sugar in a bowl, add the butter, then rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the milk to make a soft dough. Drop 8 spoonfuls of mixture over the rhubarb and scatter with the almonds. Bake for 25-30 mins until the topping is crisp and golden. Serve warm with mascarpone or crème fraîche.
