I hit a sale at Kroger and I decided to dig out my favorite cobbler recipe.
This is THE eastern Kentucky cookbook to have. I will have to do many more posts on this cookbook because the ladies that contributed lived through some tough times and could make good food out of virtually nothing or anything they had on hand. Vinegar pie anyone? But lets move on to the cobbler.
I like this recipe because the crust is nice and doughy yet crisp on top. And it is easy to make. Lets cream some butter and sugar.....
And don't forget the berries. Hint, if you like your cobbler thick toss the berries in some flour first. I want mine runny for the juice to go over ice cream. Yum.
If you are going to cook from scratch. I say use good ingredients. No fake flavoring for me please.
After I mix up the dough I smear it over the berries.
Add the sugar. I didn't use a whole cup. Those mountain folk like their pies sweeter than I do.
Water goes over the top.
Pop it in the oven and wait for the house to smell wonderful.
I meant to get a shot with the ice cream and pie in a bowl, but I was happily eating blackberry cobbler and didn't want to waste a second lest the ice cream melt. But it was a very pretty color I will say!
Happy Monday Everyone!
May your week be blessed with the simple pleasures of life.
