Cooking with Tallyrand

cobblers! 

a blackberry cobbler is a perfect comfort food and accompliment to a chilly autumn evening, after enjoying a stroll on the beach at dusk or a ramble through the beautiful English countryside gathering the fruit

but, if you cant get fresh berries, use other fruits like gooseberries, plums, peaches etc, or frozen berries or even a can of your favourite tinned fruit

1. pre-heat oven to 200°C
2. arrange the fruit into ramekins or a casserole type dish
3. place the sifted flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and butter into the bowl of a food processor
4. pulse several times, until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs
5. pour in sufficient of the buttermilk and pulse again until a thick, very sticky dough is formed
6. spoon tablespoons of the mixture over the fruit in rocky mounds (do not try and spread and make pretty, this is a rustic, feel good dish)
7. sprinkle with the sugar mixed with the cinnamon followed by some flaked almonds
8. bake for approx 30 minutes, or until top is crusty golden brown
9. remove and serve warm

chef notes

serve with a nice vanilla infused custard or (gert, big) dollops of clotted cream
