Pear And Blackberry Cobbler Food

PEAR AND BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Pile the pears and blackberries into an ovenproof dish about 26cm x 18cm. Sprinkle over 50g sugar, the cinnamon and the cornflour. Gently stir together to mix.
• Put the flour in a food processor, add the butter and 100g sugar, and whizz for a few seconds until crumbs form. Add the buttermilk and whizz briefly until a squidgy dough forms.
• Scatter clumps of the dough over the fruit - don't cover completely. Sprinkle the rest of the sugar over and bake for 40 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping pale-golden.

BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 3-quart baking dish with butter.
• In a medium bowl, whisk 1 cup sugar with the flour and milk. Whisk in the melted butter.
• Rinse the blackberries and pat them dry. Pour the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the top of the batter. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over the blackberries. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 1 hour. When 10 minutes of the cooking time remains, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the top. Top with whipped cream or ice cream . . . or both!

BLACKBERRY-PEAR COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 1/2- quart baking dish with 2-inch-high sides. Gently toss berries, pears, 2/3 cup sugar, wine, peel, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in medium bowl.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 3/4 cup sugar in another medium bowl. Add milk, melted butter, and almond extract; whisk until blended. Spread batter in prepared dish. Place berry-pear mixture atop batter (do not stir). Sprinkle with additional cinnamon.
• Bake cobbler until crust is set in center and brown at edges, about 1 hour. Cool 30 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar; serve warm with ice cream, if desired.
• GOOD TO KNOW:
• Why not stir the fruit into the batter? Left undisturbed, the batter puffs up around the fruit during baking, forming a crusty edge.

• Pour milk-egg mixture into the flour mixture. Mix batter until just combined. Add pears to the prepared baking dish. Drop batter by spoonful onto the pears.

Steps:

• To make the streusel topping, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest and juice together in a bowl with a rubber spatula until sandy. Stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together and add to the butter. Using your fingers, work the ingredients together until pea-sized clumps form. Spread into a single layer in the bowl and freeze for up to 1 day.
• To make the filling, toss the fruit gently with the granulated sugar. Set aside for 10 minutes.
• Crème fraîche, optional
• To make the cobbler batter, in a standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and lemon zest until combined. With the mixer on low speed, slowly drizzle in the egg mixture and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
• Transfer the fruit and any accumulated juices to the baking dish and spread evenly. Pour the cobbler batter over the fruit, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the streusel over the batter. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, rotating the dish halfway through, until the streusel is golden brown and a dork or toothpick comes out with no crumbs. Let stand for 15 minutes before dusting lightly with confectioners sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Optional for serving: Finish with a dollop of crème fraîche.
