FRUIT COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill.
• Combine flour, oatmeal, sugar, and butter in a large bowl; mix until well combined. Place 3/4 of mixture along the bottom of a Dutch oven. Spread fruit over top, then sprinkle with the rest of the oatmeal mixture. Place on rack of hot grill; 1/3 of the charcoal must be on top and 2/3 of the charcoal must be on the bottom. The key to cooking it is not to open the Dutch oven until you have smelled the cobbler for 10 minutes. Every time you open the Dutch oven you lose the heat. Serve warm.

ULTIMATE PLUM & APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• For the fruit, put all the ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over a low heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved, then leave to simmer until you have a chunky fruit compote, then set aside.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 6. Whisk the egg into the milk and set aside. Rub the butter and the flour together until it has the texture of chunky breadcrumbs, then stir in the caster sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and a large pinch of salt. Pour in the milk mixture and bring together to form a thick, batter-like texture.
• Tip the compote into a baking dish and top with large spoonfuls of the cobbler mix, making sure there are a few gaps for the fruit to bubble through, then sprinkle everything with the demerara sugar. Bake for 35-40 mins or until the topping is golden and just cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 5 mins before serving straight from the dish with generous spoonfuls of clotted cream.

FRUIT COBBLER WITH ANY FRUIT

Steps:

• Place a piece of parchment paper on a small rimmed baking sheet or large plate.
• In a food processor, pulse together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pulse in butter just until mixture looks like small pebbles. Drizzle in buttermilk and cream, and pulse just to combine.
• Transfer to a lightly floured surface and pat dough together, incorporating any stray or dry pieces. Using a spoon, scoop off 2-inch pieces of dough and roll into balls (you should end up with about 10). Transfer dough to baking sheet or plate and flatten balls to 3/4-inch thick; wrap with plastic and chill for at least 20 minutes, and up to 8 hours.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together fruit, sugar to taste, and tapioca. Let sit for 20 minutes to hydrate tapioca, then scrape into a 2 1/2-quart gratin dish or 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
• Top with biscuits, then brush biscuit tops with remaining 1 tablespoon cream. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar, and bake until dark golden on top and fruit is bubbling in the middle, about 1 hour, rotating halfway through. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
