Lazy Girl Cobbler

Happy July! This is a great month for berries; strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, which means it’s a good time for a cobbler! I have watched and helped my Nana make this dozens of times; it’s a great go-to and crowd pleaser. And, you know it’s easy because it’s called Lazy Girl Cobbler. Let's jump right in!

Ingredients

2 heaping cups of fruit (or berries of your choice)

1 cup sugar

1 cup flour

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 stick butter (yes…a whole stick!)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Spray your cooking pan. I like a good thick cobbler so I did an 8x8 pan, but 9x13 works fine. In the pictures you’ll see I used a disposable pan because I needed to give this cobbler away or I would eat way too much of it myself!

3. Wash, slice (if need be), and measure out your fruit. You can use anything: strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, peaches, apples, or a mixture of them all. If you like lots of fruit you can always add an extra cup.

4. Wisk together the sugar and flour.

5. Pour in milk and vanilla, mix until the batter is lump free. 

6. Pour berries into greased pan, and pour the batter evenly over the berries.

7. Slice butter into tablespoons and dot over the batter and berries. This is what makes it so wonderful...and terribly unhealthy. 

8. Bake cobbler for 30 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream on top! 

And there you have it, a homemade cobbler all under an hour!

Cobbler Tip 1:

This cobbler turns out best using fresh berries, but if the fruit you want is out of season you can use frozen. Make sure to thaw out the fruit completely, and then drain off all of the excess juice. If you skip this step you might have a soggy cobbler!

Cobbler Tip 2:

If the fruit you are using is a little tart, slice it up the night before and pour a tablespoon of sugar over it. Stick it in the fridge overnight, and it shouldn’t be nearly as tart when it’s soaked in some of that extra sweetness.

I hope you all try and enjoy Nana’s Lazy Girl Cobbler recipe, I’m off to the farm to share my strawberry cobbler with her and Popa. If you try it, be sure to share pictures! Happy Baking!
