Cobbler

I've been hankering for a good cobbler. I found a Robin Miller recipe that uses frozen blueberries, and I thought it might fit the bill. Blueberry cobbler and ice cream. Yeah buddy.

So I start by melting a stick of butter. As the butter melts irretrievably in the microwave, I realize I don't actually have a bag of frozen blueberries. I have part of a bag of blackberries, and part of a bag of mixed berries. Since I can't put the butter back in its previous stick state, I figure I'm deep enough in to keep going. So I take the mixed berries, and top it off with some of the blackberries. Mixed berry, heavy on the blackberry, cobbler. Yeah buddy.

So I take the two cups total berries and mix them with a half a cup of sugar. Then I take the melted butter and mix it with three quarters of a cup of milk. Then I mix together a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, and a teaspoon of baking powder. Then I add that mixture to the butter/milk mixture and thoroughly combine. Then I pour the final mixture into a greased 9 X 12 pan. Then I drop the berries on top. They are supposed to sink. They don't sink. The final mixture looks a little on the thick side for sinking. But I'm way far in now, so I keep going.

I put the dish with the layer of final mixture and layer of fruit in the preheated 350 degree oven for forty five minutes.

Eventually, the berries sank. Or maybe the final mixture rose up around them. Either way, I've got cobbler. Yeah buddy.

It was good, too. Had it with vanilla ice cream and a Yankee game.
