Cast Iron Cobbler With Louisiana Blackberries And Sassy Sauce Food

CAST IRON BLACKBERRY COBBLER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Add 1 cup sugar, 4 cups blackberries and cornstarch that dissolved in cold water to a large ovenproof skillet (like a cast iron or coated cast iron pan).
• Heat blackberries over medium, stirring frequently until boiling. They will start to change from their dark color to a pink.
• Boil blackberries for 2-3 minutes until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
• In a mixing bowl, add flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, tsp of baking powder, salt and mix well.
• Add butter ( I find it easier to cut butter into tablespoons) and use a pastry blender to cut in butter until mixture is small and crumbly.
• Add boiling water and mix just until combined, being careful not to over mix.
• Spoon dollops of dough onto the top of the blackberries.
• Sprinkle top of dough with coarse sugar (Note that its fine to sprinkle the whole pan with sugar if you like)
• Bake cobbler for 20-25 minutes or until brown on top.
• Remove from oven and let stand until cooled a bit and serve as is or over vanilla ice cream.

CAST-IRON BLUEBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the butter in an 10-inch cast-iron skillet and transfer to the preheated oven to melt.
• Meanwhile, mix together the flour, baking powder, lavender and salt in a bowl. Stir in the milk, 1 cup sugar, the lemon juice, zest and vanilla to combine. Mix together the remaining tablespoon sugar and the blueberries in another bowl. Remove the hot skillet with the melted butter from the oven and pour in the batter. Top with the sugared blueberries. Bake until brown and the batter has risen up and around the fruit, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer to a rack to cool slightly. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream.

BLACKBERRY COBBLER II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 1/4 cup boiling water just until mixture is evenly moist.
• In a separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water. Mix in remaining 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, and blackberries. Transfer to a cast iron skillet, and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Drop dough into the skillet by spoonfuls. Place skillet on the foil lined baking sheet.
• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until dough is golden brown.
