Trisha Yearwoods Blackberry Cobbler Food

BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Butter a 1-quart casserole dish or baking pan.
• Combine the sugar with 1 tablespoon of the flour, the berries and 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the remaining 2 cups of flour until small crumbles start to form. Slowly stir in the milk, adding just enough so a soft dough starts to form and isn't sticking to the sides of the bowl. Once formed, place the dough on a lightly floured cutting board and use your hands to pat it into a square. With a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/2 inch thick and then cut the dough into 2-inch-wide strips.
• Pour 1 cup of the blackberry mixture into the bottom of the buttered dish. Closely line half of the dough strips on top of the blackberry mixture. Bake for 12 minutes or until the dough starts to brown. Remove from the oven and pour the remaining berry mixture over the baked strips. Closely line another layer of dough strips on top and bake for another 12 minutes or until the dough has browned. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

TRISHA YEARWOOD'S BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, the berries and 1 cup water (if you use frozen blueberries, add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to the simmered filling). Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes; remove from the heat.
• In a medium bowl, rub the butter into the remaining 2 cups flour. Stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.
• Turn out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Pat into a square, then roll into an 8-inch square; cut into 6 long strips.
• Pour 1 cup of the berry mixture into the pan. Arrange 3 dough strips an equal distance apart over the blackberry mix.
• Bake until golden-brown, about 12 minutes, then remove from the oven and pour the remaining berry mixture over the baked strips. Arrange another layer of dough strips perpendicular to the first row and bake until golden-brown, about 12 minutes more.
• Let cool for about 20 minutes.
• Serve warm with the ice cream.

EASY PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain 1 can of peaches; reserve the syrup from the other. Place the butter in a 9- by 12-inch ovenproof baking dish. Heat the butter on the stove or in the oven until it's melted. In a medium bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Stir in the milk and the reserved syrup. Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Arrange the peaches over the batter. Bake for 1 hour. The cobbler is done when the batter rises around the peaches and the crust is thick and golden brown. Serve warm with fresh whipped cream
• Chill a large metal mixing bowl and the wire beater attachment in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Pour the chilled cream and sugar into the cold mixing bowl and beat until it forms soft peaks, about 5 minutes. The mixture should hold its shape when dropped from a spoon. Don't overbeat or you'll have sweetened butter!

COLLARD COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the collards: Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until the fat is rendered but the bacon is not yet crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the collard greens, stock, onion powder, pepper and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens have wilted down and most of the liquid has evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Scrape the greens into a small oval baking dish and spread into an even layer.
• For the drop biscuit topping: Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking soda, sugar and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk and butter in a small mixing bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until a dough comes together.
• Spray an ice cream scoop with cooking spray and scoop the biscuits onto the collards, leaving some collards exposed. Each biscuit should be about 2 heaping tablespoons of dough. Bake until the greens bubble around the edges and the biscuits are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
