Cherry Cobbler

It's cherry season in BC's Okanagan Valley. Yummy! They are so sweet and delicious.

I plan to make some preserves this week, so I can have them all year round. Yes!

Yesterday, my sister brought me a bag of local BC cherries that she got at the Farmers' Market. So for now, I will enjoy them right away in this easy and delicious Cobbler. It serves 6-8. Serve it warm with a little vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients & Directions Fruit: 

5-6 cups pitted cherries                                              

½ cup sugar

1 Tbsp flour

Mix together and pour into a 6 cup shallow baking dish and dot with butter.

Preheat oven to 375 F

Ingredients & Directions Topping:

2 cups flour

Pinch salt

3 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp baking powder

1/3 cup cold butter

Cut together the above ingredients.

Beat together 1 egg and 1/3 cup milk add to the flour mixture to make a stiff dough.

Break off little chunks and flatten into “cobbles”.  Lay over the fruit mix overlapping to make a cobblestone top.  Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp sugar and bake for 35-45 min until browned and bubbly.  Cool for 20 min and serve with ice cream.
