Berry Cobbler

Hometown parades, barbecues, gardening, sunny days, berry picking, and delicious homemade berry desserts are some of the simple pleasures of summer.  Here's my recipe for Berry Cobbler.  It's best served warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Berry Filling:

• 2 pints Berries - I use wild blueberries or huckleberries, but whatever you have is fine.
• 3/4 Sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. Cornstarch
• 1 tsp. Lemon Juice

Pastry Dough:

• 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1 tsp. Baking Soda
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 1/8 tsp. Cinnamon
• 3 tbsp. Cold Butter
• 3/4 cup Milk

1. Preheat oven to 400F.  Lightly grease 9-inch pie plate.  Toss all of the filling ingredients together in small bowl, then evenly distribute in pie plate.  Set aside.

2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  In another bowl, mix together a teaspoon of sugar and cinnamon.  Set aside.

3. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.  Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in milk.  Stir with fork.  Drop by spoonfuls onto berries.  Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.

4. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

Dearest,

This recipe is just what I was looking for! It is supposed to be hot this weekend, so I will make up this cobbler and top it with ice cream. Yum!
