MAMA'S FRUIT COBBLER

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients together and set aside.
• Place drained fruit in a buttered 8x8 pan and top with bread strips.
• Pour sugar mixture over bread and fruit and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown.
• Great topped with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
• Note: I dont usually measure the fruit, I just fill the bottom of the pan. Frozen fruit that has been partially defrosted works great as does soft fresh fruit- harder fruits such as apples or pears should be precooked until softened for best results. Drained canned fruit works great for this too. One large can (29 oz) is a perfect amount.

RED FRUIT PASSION FRUIT COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200ºC and fill a 9-inch oven-proof dish with the red fruit and sprinkle with the sugar.
• Make the topping by combining the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar until well mixed. Add the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Add the vanilla essence and the cinnamon and gradually and the milk to create a dough.
• Use your hands, or if the dough is particularly sticky, a pair of spoons, to shape 6 small scones of dough and lay them on top of the filling, covering most of the surface of the fruit (though they will expand). Sprinkle the scones with sugar and the flaked almonds and bake for 35 - 45 minutes.
• To make the sweet mascarpone cream:.
• Combine the mascarpone and crème fraiche, stirring until it's lump free. Then add the icing sugar and mix well.
• To assemble:.
• Serve the Cobbler, allowing one scone per person, with the Mascarpone cream and a dollop from the passion fruit (about a third of a fruit to half per person).

EASY, FOOLPROOF COBBLER (FOR ANY FRUIT)

Steps:

• Combine the flour and sugar.
• Add the butter, mixing as you go, until the mixture forms a soft dough. It can be slightly crumbly, but you want it to hold together when you squeeze it.
• Spray a 9x9 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Put the fruit in the dish - you will probably need about 4 cups of berries or chopped fruit. You want to create a thick layer that comes about two inches up the sides.
• If the fruit is particularly tart, sprinkle with a light layer of sugar. If the fruit is soft and sweet, you don't need it.
• Take the dough by the handful and pat it into disks that are about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick. Lay them on top of the fruit, continuing with the patties, until it is covered.
• Bake the cobbler at 350 degrees for about 45-50 minutes, until the crust is light golden brown. Let cool slightly, then serve with ice cream.

MOM CANTEY'S FRUIT COBBLER

Steps:

• Directions for Filling:.
• Prepare fruit. Put prepared fruit into 8" x 8" baking dish. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle over fruit.
• Directions for Crust:.
• In a medium bowl, mix butter and sugar. In a seperate small bowl, crack the egg into it and beat it slightly. Stir the egg into the butter and sugar mixture. Gradually add flour and mix well. The mixture will have a consistency between that of heavy cake batter and light biscuit dough. Drop spoonfuls on top of fruit. The topping will spread out as it cooks. Bake at 325 degrees until light brown and the topping doesn't shake - usually 45-50 minutes. Test the same as you would a cake. Straw should come out clean. When doubled this recipe works well in a 9x13 baking dish. It will take 1 1/2 to 2 hours to bake. Test at 1 hour and 45 minutes.
