Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Stir until well blended.
3
Add the sliced rhubarb, optional nutmeg, butter, and grated orange zest to the mixture. Toss to coat evenly and let it stand for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Transfer the rhubarb mixture into a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
5
Bake the rhubarb in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to begin softening it.

While the rhubarb is baking, prepare the cobbler topping. In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
7
Cut in 1/4 cup of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8
In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined.
9
Remove the rhubarb from the oven, and drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the fruit filling, leaving some gaps for bubbling.

Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 25 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
