This recipe was created by Mrs. Diefenbaker, wife of former Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker.
Anne's note: "Dief the Chief" must have liked sweets, this cobbler is sweeter than most rhubarb desserts.
In buttered baking dish, put rhubarb, corn syrup, sugar and grated lemon rind. Make a batter of the remaining ingredients and spoon over rhubarb (you may wish to flatten it into an even crust or leave it as dumplings). Bake at 375F for 30 minutes. Serve with cream.
