Ingredients

1/3 cup butter, plus butter to grease baking dish
4 cups strawberries, hulled, rinsed and halved
4 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch lengths
1 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons tapioca
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish at least 2 inches deep.
Mix fruit with 1 cup sugar and tapioca, and pour into dish.
Make biscuit dough: Sift together flour, baking powder, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and salt. Cut in 1/3 cup butter. Add milk and stir briefly just to mix, then turn onto a floured board and knead gently and briefly. Roll out biscuit dough about 3/4 inch thick, and place over fruit, covering it completely.
Brush slightly with melted butter, place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Serve with ice cream, if desired.
