Ingredients
 

  • 8 Tbsp. butter divided
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 mandarins peeled and cut in half through the sections so that each orange slice is cut in half
  • 1 cup rhubarb cut into chunks
  • 1 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Epicure Poudre Douce or a blend of 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cloves, and 2 tsp. ginger
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk or as I did 1 Tbsp. lemon juice added to a cup measure and then filled with half and half cream, let stand for 5 min. until curdled
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Melt the butter and set aside 2 Tbsp. Place 6 Tbsp. in a 10" skillet.
  • Toss together the mandarins, rhubarb, and Poudre douce and place over the butter in the skillet.
  • Cover the fruit with the brown sugar, set aside.
  • With a whisk mix the flour, sugar, soda, and salt together. With a wooden spoon stir in the remaining 2 Tbsp. butter, buttermilk, and vanilla.
  • Mix well until combined. Pour the batter over the fruit.
  • Bake for 25 to 35 min. until set and golden brown on top and completely set.
  • Cool in the skillet for 5 min. and then invert onto a serving plate. Serve with ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
