Blueberry Cobbler

 


 

 Very different Monday with no laundry being done. We'll be getting a new washer later this week 
( hopefully). The cost of the part needed plus the charge for a service call was more than half the cost of a new washer and since our old one had been around for a number of years we decided to go with a new one. I never liked the old one. It wouldn't fill with enough water to even cover the soiled items and it would decide if you got warm or cold water. No matter which button you chose.

It's a long weekend here and we took advantage of DH being around ( instead of at Gleaners) and went picking blueberries in an abandoned field near where a friend lives. It's an old (Gov.) experimental field...very weedy and uncared for but the berries keep growing and producing. When we came back he washed berries and I mixed up topping for a Blueberry Cobbler.  In case you want the recipe I'll include it.  This can be used as a topping for any fruit, not just blueberries.

DH and Youngest Son went to a car show on Sunday.


Thanks for coming by.

 

Fruit  Cobbler

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)  (I used less)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the batter:

Instructions

Soften butter add the sugar. Beat well. Add the eggs and beat some more.  Mix dry ingredients and add alternately  with the milk. 

Bake @ 350 degree oven  about 40 minutes  or until done :)

 ***I came back to lower the temperature from 375 to 350 because mine got too done. Next time I'll check it at 35 minutes.

  5. That is a different cobbler recipe than most I have seen. Sounds like a cake! I bet it's delicious. My cobbler topping, learned from my mother, is more like sweetened drop biscuit. Or shortcake, maybe.

  7. In England a cobbler recipe is the same as a scone (the sort we eat in a cream tea). You arrange the scones on top of the fruit. I'm going to try your recipe as I have a small punnet of blueberries lurking in the fridge!

  14. I'm so glad you are replacing that washer, which doesn't sound like it's been a very good friend, the way it kept you from enjoying doing the laundry properly. Have fun with the new one!

  16. It's so true that repairing appliances is often more costly than replacing them. We live in such a throwaway world with planned obsolescence. I'm glad you're getting one that works well for you. How great to harvest those neglected blueberry bushes! Cobblers are delicious.
