This month we made cobbler for the first time in about a decade! I kinda winged it, with help.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • 1 stick (8 tbsp) of butter, melted into a large baking dish (you can leave it in the oven as it preheats, but don't forget it in there!)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar mixed into 4 diced pears and some blueberries (about 1 carton), cooked on the stove to mix juices and sugar into a syrup
  • 1.5 cup flour mixed with 4 tsp baking powder, 1 cup granulated sugar, some citric acid, some salt, and 1.5 cup of 2% milk
  • Pour the batter into the butter in one contiguous blob, then drop the pears and berries onto the middle and flatten out. Don't mix the batter or the butter!
  • Bake for, I dunno, 25 to 30 minutes (or until golden brown). Then let sit with the oven off but inside it for another 20 to 30 minutes. I winged it, okay?

Oops the cobbler is gonna overflow a little probably! Oh well, delicious mistakes leave no evidence once consumed
Starting to turn golden, I rotated it and repositioned it in the oven
Fresh outta the oven! Golden brown and delicious

Lots of juices in the baking tray as it's cut, could've let it sit in the fridge first if we wanted to do something about that

Overall, we learned a lot of lessons from this baking exercise. Let's see what we make next!
