MERRY BERRY COBBLER - GOLD MEDAL FLOUR

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease 2-quart casserole with shortening. In 4-quart Dutch oven, mix granulated sugar and cornstarch. Add berries and lemon juice; toss until evenly coated. Heat to boiling. Boil 3 to 5 minutes (7 to 10 minutes for frozen berries), stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Spoon into casserole.
• In large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in enough hot water until mixture forms a soft dough. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto berry mixture.
• Bake cobbler 25 to 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Serve warm with whipped cream.
• Tuck a few fresh berries into serving bowls for a flavorful and colorful garnish.
• Sprinkle decorating sugar crystals over the cobbler dough just before baking.

BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or 9-inch cast-iron skillet with butter.
• Put the berries in a large bowl, then add the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and butter and toss together until well coated. Pour into the baking dish. Set aside.
• For the batter: Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, butter and egg in a bowl to form a stiff batter. Drop the batter by the spoonful over the prepared berries, then bake until golden and bubbling at the edges, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with whipped cream.
