Raspberry Cobbler


I got this recipe while working at an organic family farm last summer in Hoopa, CA. I tried my first fruit cobbler while there and fell for it immediately. I only ate it once while there, and today was the first day trying out the recipe. It felt like a success after positive reviews from roommates, but next time I'll probably add less lemon juice because part of it felt a bit too tart, and maybe a little less water.

The crust is pretty amazing because of the whole wheat flour though.

Ingredients:
4 cups berries (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Batter:
1 c sugar
6 Tbsp butter
1 c whole wheat flour
1 c unbleached flour
1 1/4 c milk
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Topping:
1/4 c sugar - this amount of sugar can vary depending on taste.
3 T flour
2 1/2 c water (boiling - add at the end)

1. Put berries in deep dish and sprinkle with lemon juice.
2. Cream butter and 1 c sugar.
3. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Add with milk to make a batter.
4. Spoon batter over berries.
5. Mix 1/4 c sugar and 3 T flour and sprinkle over batter.
6. Pour 2 1/2 cup boiling water over the sugar and batter.
7. Bake at 375 degrees for about 1 hr or until crust is done. This may be made with other berries or fruits.
