Instructions

Prepare the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Make the fruit filling

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, rhubarb, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until the fruit is well coated with sugar.

Pro tip: For a thicker filling, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.

Prepare the pudding topping

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.

Pro tip: Do not overmix the batter to keep the topping tender.

Assemble the pudding

Pour the fruit mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Carefully spoon the pudding batter over the fruit, spreading it gently with a spatula.

Pro tip: Ensure the batter completely covers the fruit for even baking.

Bake the pudding

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and set.

Pro tip: The pudding is done when a skewer inserted into the topping comes out clean.

Cool and serve

Allow the pudding to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This helps the flavours to meld and makes it easier to serve.

Pro tip: Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
