It is that time of the week again for Tuesdays With Dorie. The recipe this week is Mixed Berry Cobbler. A cobbler consists of a bottom layer of fruit topped of with pastry - most cobbler crusts are heartier than pie crust. Some members from the above site have tried the recipe and were not too fond of the crust - apparently it was bland and too thick.
I used buttermilk instead of cream as suggested in the original recipe in Dorie's book - Baking: From My Home To Yours. It was a fortunate error in my grocery list. I was getting a little ahead of myself and was buying ingredients for the cheddar and apple scone for next week ( I am hoping to bake the scones on Friday so that Brad will be able to take it with him for a snack when he flies to Winnipeg this weekend). The original recipe called for 1 large cobbler and as you can see I opted for diminutive ones...I think they look adorable! I halved the recipe as the original recipe would have been too much for the two of us.
I also rolled out the crust a bit thinner and added a bit more sugar to it and the crust turned out not bad at all. I really liked the fruit filling. I used fresh berries and tossed it with a little sugar, lemon zest and some cornstarch and it turned quite lovely. A large scoop of ice cream on top of the warm cobbler would be nice too ;) Here is a link to Dorie's Berry Cobbler recipe from NPR's website.
