- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE QUICK-COBBLER D "3 Mar 86" 1986
- .RZ "BUSY DAY COBBLER" "An extremely quick cherry cobbler dessert"
- This recipe came from a PTA recipe collection from my Aunt's school a
- number of years ago. It's not a true, classic cobbler,
- but I think it's better. My favorite dessert!
- .IH "serves 6"
- .IG "\(14 cup" "butter" "50 g"
- (or margarine, if you must)
- .IG "\(12 cup" "sugar" "100 g"
- .IG "2/3 cup" "milk" "150 ml"
- .IG "1 cup" "flour" "100 g"
- .IG "2 tsp" "baking powder" "10 ml"
- .IG "13 oz" "tart cherries" "400 g"
- (one normal U.S. can)
- .IG "2 Tbsp" "sugar" "20 g"
- to sweeten and thicken (use less or more as needed)
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Preheat oven to
- .TE 350 175 .
- .SK 2
- Drain cherries, saving liquid.
- .SK 3
- Cream butter and sugar together.
- .SK 4
- Alternately add in milk and sifted dry ingredients.
- .SK 5
- Pour into a buttered and floured casserole dish.
- .SK 6
- Top evenly with cherries. Sprinkle sugar on top and cover with
- saved liquid/juice.
- .SK 7
- Bake 45\-50 minutes.
- .NX
- The batter will expand and surround the cherries so they're
- evenly mixed throughout the cobbler. The juice will congeal
- to fruity and puddinglike. Serve warm topped with cream, milk
- or ice cream. (I prefer milk). If any is left, it's good cold,
- too.
- .PP
- As the name implies, this is a very quick recipe to make.
- Depending on how soft the butter is to start with, or whether
- or if you use a food processor (I don't, but it should work)
- this recipe takes only 5 to 10 minutes to mix.
- .PP
- You can use any unsweetened canned fruit for this recipe.
- You can also use frozen fruit, by thawing it before adding to the
- pan. Berries or peaches are standard substitutes.
- Yesterday I made one with crushed pineapple. I used brown,
- rather than white sugar atop the fruit. It tasted very much
- like pineapple upside down cake (though the appearance was a
- bit different).
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy, I've been making this since I was about 8 or 9.
- .I Time:
- 5 minutes preparation, 45 minutes cooking.
- .I Precision:
- approximate measurement OK.
