So, last summer I was on the hunt for a really good berry cobbler recipe and after several tries think I found my favorite on allrecipes.com and made some changes to it. It's versatile because you can use any kind of berries and/or fruits that you want or have on hand. I made it a couple weeks ago with blueberries and raspberries and today I made it with blueberries, marion berries and cherries. Yum!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 1/2 cups
white sugarcoconut palm sugar*, divided - 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional Ingredients: 1/4-1/2 cup oats, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons cold butter
- 1/4 cup boiling water
-
2 tablespoons
cornstarcharrowroot powder* - 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 cups berries, fruit or combo of both, rinsed and drained.
- The kinds of fruits you could use are: blackberries, blueberries, cherries, peaches, nectarines, etc. Just make sure everything is close to the same size and small enough to cook through.
*I've replaced white and brown sugar with coconut palm sugar in most of my recipes AND coffee.
*I've also been using arrowroot powder as an alternative thickener in place of cornstarch or flour. You may need to adjust the amount you use in other recipes, such as gravy, because it isn't exactly the same but the 2 T in this recipe works great.
