Red White And Blue Cobbler Food

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE COBBLER

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface unroll 1 piecrust. Brush lightly with water; place another piecrust on top; roll out to smooth crust. Cut 5 (11⁄2-inch-wide) strips, and place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to use. Repeat rolling procedure with remaining piecrusts. Using a 3-inch star cutter, cut 5 stars. Using a 2 1⁄2-inch star cutter, cut 9 stars. Place stars on a baking sheet, and refrigerate until ready to use. Reserve remaining crust for another use. In a large bowl, stir together granulated sugar and berries. Let stand at least 30 minutes. Place berry mixture in a 15-inch cast-iron skillet; stir in cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thick and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in butter and lemon zest. Place strips on cobbler, cutting to fit, if necessary. Arrange stars on top. Brush piecrust strips and stars with beaten egg, and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until crust is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.

VERY BEST BLUEBERRY COBBLER!

Steps:

• Lightly grease an 8 inch square baking dish. Place the blueberries into the baking dish, and mix with vanilla and lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of flour, then stir in the tablespoon of melted butter. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together 1 3/4 cups of flour, baking powder, and 6 tablespoons sugar. Rub in the 5 tablespoons butter using your fingers, or cut in with a pastry blender until it is in small pieces. Make a well in the center, and quickly stir in the milk. Mix just until moistened. You should have a very thick batter, or very wet dough. You may need to add a splash more milk. Cover, and let batter rest for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spoon the batter over the blueberries, leaving only a few small holes for the berries to peek through. Mix together the cinnamon and 2 teaspoons sugar; sprinkle over the top.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the topping should come out clean - of course there will be blueberry syrup on the knife. Let cool until just warm before serving. This can store in the refrigerator for 2 days.

RED-WHITE-AND-BLUE COCKTAILS

Steps:

• Turn summer drinks into firecrackers by coating the glass rims with Pop Rocks. Just dampen with lemon juice, then dip the rims in the candies on a plate. To get the red-white-and-blue effect, use Tropical Punch (blue) Pop Rocks, then fill the glasses with any red drink or cocktail; we mixed pomegranate and cranberry juice with seltzer.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE SHEET PAN COBBLER

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the filling: Combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, vanilla, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl and toss to coat. Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch rimmed sheet pan and set aside.
• For the biscuit topping: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and 1 tablespoon of the sesame seeds in a large bowl. Add the butter and toss together, breaking up the pieces of butter into the flour with your fingertips or two knives scissor-fashion until the mixture is sandy and the butter chunks are no larger than peas. (Alternatively you can cut the butter in with a pastry cutter.) Drizzle in the buttermilk and mix until just combined; the dough should be shaggy.
• Scoop the dough into 6 equal mounds over the berries. Flatten the dough to cover as much surface area as possible (you can dip your hands in buttermilk to flatten it if you like). Brush the dough with buttermilk and sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds and some more sugar. Bake in the middle of the oven until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown and the fruit is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan about halfway through the baking time. Set aside for 5 to 7 minutes to cool before serving.
• For the strawberry whipped cream: Beat the cream, vanilla and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer on a high speed until it just begins to increase in volume. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until medium-stiff peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Warm the preserves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, removing any seeds and fruit chunks. Add the strained mixture to the whipped cream and fold gently a couple of times to create a swirled effect.
• To serve, scoop the cobbler into bowls, top with the swirled strawberry cream and enjoy!
