Cast Iron Cobbler
I realize the picture doesn’t look like much.
But underneath is a layer of delicious goodness.
Peaches.
This is my go-to, pantry dessert.
This is what I make when my husband calls me at 5:30pm to let me know he has people coming over for dinner (This is not an unusual situation for me to find myself in). Or when we already have people over and we decide we need a little something. Or the church calls and has a family needing a meal. I have used just about every fruit or berry you can think of due to the fact that I don’t think I have EVER planned ahead for this one. So I just end up using whatever I have whether it be canned, frozen or fresh.
The cobbler is your oyster?
I like to serve this one fresh out of the oven because the top comes out with a bit of a crunch to it that goes away if it has been sitting. But of course, it can be served later too.
Ingredients
4 cups fruit or berries (if using a berry such as raspberries you may want to sprinkle them with a touch of sugar while you are making the rest of the recipe just to sweeten them a bit)
1 stick butter
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of sea salt
1 cup whole milk
1 (generous) teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350º. Put the butter into a medium cast iron pan and place in the oven while it’s heating up, allowing the butter to melt completely.
While the butter is melting, in a medium mixing bowl whisk together the rest of the ingredients, except the fruit or berries.
Once the butter is melted, remove the pan from the oven and pour the batter into the pan. Next sprinkle with fruit or berries so they are all over (don’t worry the batter will rise up over the top of them).
Place pan back in the oven until the cake part is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. About 30 minutes.
Serve hot with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
