The older I get the extra I really like sonkers, cobblers and fruit crisps. And I can not resist attempting new recipes! This one, as you possibly can inform by the title of this put up, is a fast blackberry cobbler. It is a little bit completely different from my others in that it requires cornstarch within the filling and has an egg within the biscuit topping. It is faster since you combine the filling the skillet and solely bake for about 20 minutes.
This recipe will be made in full in an 8-inch or comparable dimension casserole dish or you possibly can scale it down to suit an excellent smaller dimension casserole dish. I like to chop the recipe in half and make it on this little Le Creuset Heritage Assortment dish from TJ Maxx, however I additionally discover baking dishes at thrift shops. Shout out to fellow thrift retailer lovers on the market.
However again to the cobbler. To make this one, you combine the cornstarch, sugar, berries, and water in a saucepan and stir over medium warmth till thick and clear. Add a little bit butter, unfold within the pan and sprinkle on some lemon juice. You then combine collectively a fast drop biscuit batter and spoon balls of batter excessive. Sprinkle on a little bit extra sugar and bake at 400 for about 20 minutes. This is mine earlier than I put it within the oven.
Cobbler Variations
This dessert is at all times so good. If you’re watching sugar, you can also make it with a sweetener aside from sugar and use one thing like Fiber Gourmand (a product I have been experimenting with) for the biscuit combine. And naturally you possibly can throw in a peach or another fruit when you have it. Simply do not add an excessive amount of further fruit or it would skinny out the sauce.
