I'll let that joke sink in.
I decided to make some cobbler. I had this recipe for a while and I'd been meaning to try it. We are also hoping to move in the next couple months and I am trying to make it through our freezer items so we don't have to move them. I have had problems in the past with berries stored in the freezer. They usually end up tasting like freezer. Since I had so many berries, I needed to use them. Hence the berry cobbler.
Ingredients:
1 c. Flour (or Gluten-Free Flour Blend)
1/3 c. Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 c. Milk (or Soy, Almond, or Coconut Milk)
1 Egg, Beaten
1 tsp. Melted Butter
1 1/2 c. Fruit
Directions:
- Sift dry ingredients together.
- Add milk, egg, and butter.
- Mix
- Arrange fruit in the bottom of a greased pan.
- Pour mix over fruit.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 400°
- Serve hot
For the fruit, I used frozen strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. I think fresh fruit would be most delicious, but we didn't have any of that and we had too much frozen fruit.
I used the Gluten-Free Flour Blend I've used in the past.
I also used coconut milk instead of cow's milk. We were out of almond milk, so I used coconut milk.
I still think something is wrong with this oven because I had to bake mine for another 22 minutes. So, be prepared for that.
I made the cobbler in my dutch oven, so I doubled the recipe. because I doubled it, the berries cooked down and I ended up having a lot more cobbler topping than berries.
Note about the frozen berries, they didn't taste like freezer, so that was good.
We ate this with coconut whipped cream, and it was delicious.
Review:
This was pretty good. I didn't love it, but I liked it. I think if it had more berries it would have been better. TC gave it a 4 and kept saying that it was delicious. I don't think he would have thought it was as good if it didn't have the coconut whipped cream. I gave it a 3 by itself and a 3.5 with the coconut whipped cream. We made the gluten free version, and it was pretty good!
