Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use fresh, ripe rhubarb and strawberries for the best flavor.
• If you don't have self-rising flour, you can add 1 teaspoon (5g) of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon (2g) of salt to all-purpose flour.
• Bake the cobbler until the topping is golden brown and the fruit mixture is bubbling. This ensures that the fruit is cooked through and the topping is set.
• Allow the cobbler to cool for 15 minutes before serving. This will give the topping time to set and prevent it from becoming soggy.
