Cherry cobbler
A cherry cobbler is a fruit pudding or pie, typically made with cherries, in which the fruit is covered with a thick batter or dough before being baked.
The earliest known recipe for a cherry cobbler was published in an English cookbook in 1747. The recipe called for the cherries to be stewed with sugar and spices before being covered with a pastry dough and baked.
In America, cherry cobbler recipes began appearing in the early 1800s. These recipes typically called for the cherries to be boiled with sugar before being thickened with flour or cornstarch and baked with a biscuit or pie crust topping.
Advice
When making cherry cobbler, it is important to be mindful of the sweetness of the cherries. If the cherries are too sweet, the cobbler may end up tasting overly sweet. If the cherries are too tart, the cobbler may not have enough flavor. Additionally, when making the cobbler topping, be sure to use cold butter and mix it together with the dry ingredients until it resembles pea-sized crumbs. This will ensure that the topping is light and fluffy when baked. Finally, for the best results, be sure to bake the cobbler until the top is golden brown and the juices from the cherries are bubbling.
