peach blueberry cobbler |
|
Summer Yum. We (OK, my daughter and my husband, who are the resident bakers) have made it many times as a breakfast dish, though it would be sublime as a dessert with vanilla ice cream. Peaches, nectarines and apricots work equally well. In all cases, it was gone by the end of the day. My cyber-ohana has also weighed in big-time happiness on this one as well.
It's the best of everything about summer. VARIATION UPDATE This is so simple that even I can make a successful variation. Mine was plum/strawberry (see right). |
4T butter
3/4 cup flour 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup milk (non-fat is perfectly fine!) 1t baking powder 1/4 t salt |
3 big peaches or nectarines, 4-6 apricots, pitted and sliced (skin on is OK)
1/2 small carton of blueberries OR 4-6 plums and a handful of strawberries |
Melt butter into 8 x 8 baking dish. Mix dry ingredients and add milk.
The batter will be *very* runny, but don't worry. Pour batter into baking dish and scatter the fruit into the batter. It will look like a mess, but don't despair. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. As if by magic, the top will be sticky-crunchy and the bottom will be warm and buttery. NOTE: That little 1t of baking powder is vitally important. The texture is just plain icky without it. |
