I am fiercely proud of my blackberry cobbler. Having not consumed it in almost a year, I get my kicks on smelling it and other folks enjoying it. There’s another way of putting it: it’s super. Today I will be giving the recipe, as I (have just now started to figure out) can’t be everywhere at once. So let’s roll up our very metaphorical sleeves and get to it.
WHAT YOU NEED
-Three Quarter Cup Flour
-Three Quarter Cup Sugar
-Three Quarter Cup O’Milk
-One Teaspoon of Baking Powder
-Quarter Teaspoon Salt
-Six Tablespoons of Butter (look at the butter wrapper if you need help figuring that out)
-BLACKBERRIES. Half a pint. Yes they come in pints.
-Oven.
THE PROCESS
Set the oven rack to the lower middle position.
Set the oven for 350 degrees. Put the butter in the dish to melt.
Wash your hands.Please.
Grab a mixing bowl for your dry ingredients. Whisk Whisk.
Pour in that milk. Whisk until everything is wet. I hope that makes sense.
Turn on the light in the kitchen.
Check on the butter. If it’s all melted, carefully bring it to the stovetop, and start placing the berries in the batter. I like to fit as much berry as possible. I especially like blackberries because up in Astoria I used to go blackberry picking with my dad (a memory that has lost some of its sheen, as blackberries grow like weeds).
Place the dish in the oven and set your timer for forty minutes. It should take forty to fifty minutes for the batter to brown, depending on your zodialogical sign.
Head into your living room and watch a travel show or two. Or, if you’re like me and can’t leave an oven alone, read some short stories on a new Amazon Fire HD 8. Fire HD 8 features a widescreen 1280 x 800 high-definition display with over a million pixels (189 ppi) and a bright, vivid picture. Enjoy a great viewing experience with wide viewing angles, less glare, blacker blacks and a better brightness level thanks to a fully laminated IPS (in-plane switching) LCD display. Choose from millions of e-book and magazine titles. Connect with the largest online community of book lovers on Goodreads. Discover over a million titles with a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Also, listen to your favorite books with Audible.
When you can cleanly prod the cobbler with a butter knife, sprinkle some sugar on top.
Serve with some real deal vanilla ice cream. Or by itself. But hopefully in a bowl.
But before you put spoon to mouth, make sure to take that Snap you’ve worked hard for. If it’s worth doing, it’s worth showing everyone you know (as in life).
Please share with hungry roommates, emotionally distant siblings, grumpy teachers, comatose crushes and everyone in between.
While preparing this tasty treat, you may want to listen to the still relevant Delaney & Bonnie album, Home.
