Strawberry-Blueberry Cobbler
Preheat oven to 350º F.
Grease 7 x 11 pan. Les called for an 8 x 8, and actually used a deep dish pie pan with a tray underneath to catch juices. I found the 7 x 11 worked great. It rose to the top but didn't overflow.
In the mixer, beat together:
1/4 cup soft butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
In a separate bowl, mix together:
1 1/4 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Turn the mixer on low, and add dry mixture alternately with
1/2 cup milk
Top with 3 cups of chopped strawberries.
Because I had both fresh strawberries and blueberries, I used a mix of the two.
In a small bowl stir together:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 sugar
and cut in (with two knives or your fingers) 1/4 cold butter
Spread on top of strawberries.
Bake about an hour.
This is fantastic. Just the ticket for a mid-July day. You could top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream but I didn't have either one, and it was still delicious.
Lovely garden, delicious-looking cobbler. I may just a tad jealous!
ReplyDeleteYou can make the cobbler and not be jealous. :<)
DeleteI'm going to be very mean and print this out for a friend who's dropping in later ... she's on a "Just-Bought-This-To-Go-To-A-Special-Party" diet but will love it , I know!
ReplyDeletePerhaps after the party !
It's a great dessert. Tell her it is full of fruit and good for her!
DeleteOh my gosh! You have me salivating and it's bedtime!
ReplyDeleteCould always make it for breakfast. :<)
DeleteYou are right, Nan, this definitely does not need any addition to be delicious! Wonderful, and indeed perfect for this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteNo more local or Canadian strawberries in the store. Another season over. But the local blueberries are here to make up for it.
DeleteMy mouth is watering, Nan and I have both berries too! Will make this today!
ReplyDeleteI am quite certain you will love it.
DeleteI'm so glad you tried it! Isn't it delicious?! I haven't made it yet this summer and it looks like I may have to wait until this heatwave breaks. It's far too hot (105 today!) to turn on the oven. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link-love!
Even with air conditioning?? I'm sorry you have such heat.
DeleteWe set the AC to 72 at night and 78 during the day. Even set that high, it runs nonstop. The kitchen would feel like an oven if I turned it on!
ReplyDeleteEven on our hottest, hottest days it is never 72 at night. The sixties would be the warmest temps. At 6.30 this morning, for instance, it was 49 outdoors.
