Berry Cobbler

Today I'm Making... Berry Cobbler

Earlier in the spring our family went strawberry picking, we ate what we could and ended up freezing the rest. I have been looking for something interesting to do with the leftovers. I have never made a cobbler before so I thought I would try an easy version for my first shot.

Here's how I did it:

Ingredients: (1 - 9 inch circular baking dish)

• 
  
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 3 cups of fresh or frozen berries (I used frozen- don't thaw them, you could also use peaches)
• 
  

Recipe:

1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees
2. Put the 3 tablespoons of butter in the baking dish (I used glass) and put it in the oven until melted, then take the dish out. Make sure the butter is spread evenly over the bottom.
3. In a separate bowl mix together 3/4 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 3/4 cups of milk until it resembles pancake batter. Pour the mixture over the melted butter in the baking dish.
4. Pour the 3 cups of berries evenly over the dough. You do not need to thaw them if they are frozen. I used 2 cups of strawberries and 1 cup of frozen mixed berries.
5. Put it back in the oven for 50 minutes at 375 degrees. Take it out when it's all bubbly.

Review:

This tasted so good and it was easy to make. It's great for a dinner party because you can throw it in the oven as everyone sits down to eat dinner and it will be out in time for dessert. It isn't as pretty as other cobblers I have seen but honestly if you serve it up with some ice cream it looks so tasty no one will even notice that it's isn't very Martha Stewartesque. I will certainly be making this again and honestly I can't even think of any tweaks I would make. My son who normally doesn't like whole berries was even willing to eat it! Notice in the picture that a lot of it is already eaten... that's how good it was.
