This simple and tasty cherry cobbler comes from the New Homes and Gardens Cookbook. I used fresh cherries, needing about 2 1/2 to 3 lbs total. Get a cherry pitter! Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 tbs sugar |
1 1/2 tsp baking powder |
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional) |
1/4 cup butter or margarine |
6 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened pitted red cherries |
1 to 1 1/4 cups sugar |
4 tsp cornstarch |
1 egg |
1/4 cup milk |
vanilla ice cream (optional) |
Directions:
1. For topping: in a medium bowl stir together flour, the 2 tbs sugar, baking powder and optional cinnamon. Cut in butter/margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
2. For filling: in a saucepan combine the cherries, 1 to 1 1/4 cups sugar, cornstarch and 1/4 cup water. Let stand for 10 minutes (20 minutes if using frozen fruit). Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Keep filling hot.
3. In a small bowl stir together the egg and milk. Add to flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Transfer the hot filling to a greased 2-quart baking dish. Using a spoon, drop topping onto small mounds on top of filling.
4. Bake cobbler in a 400 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes, until top is firm and somewhat browned. Serve warm or at room temperature with optional ice cream.
