@@highlandergunn9240 We grew up with a ton of blackberry bushes nearby. Me and my sisters would go out every summer to pick berries for mom to make cobbler with, as well as eating a lot of them.
You know what's five times better than blackberry? Black raspberry. Way harder to find them in most stores, though. You almost have to get your own bushes.
I agree. My mother made the best blackberry cobblers. She would put a layer of dough on the bottom of the pan and put the fruit next and then put it in the oven so that the bottom would crust wouldn't be too soggy. Or something like that, but anyway her pies would have a lot of crust soaked in all those black berry juices. None of the crust would be soggy but just the right amount of infused blackberry juice goodness. Personally I could throw away the filling and just eat that berry soaked crust. Those pies are best with the wild blackberries that grow here in Georgia. The blackberries in the store look more like dewberries to me. I like dewberries too.
There are a bunch of ways to make cobbler--some make a batter-like crust, pour it in the bottom of the pan, then the fruit and syrup mix on top. The crust rises up through the fruity stuff during baking, mixing with it along the way, with wonderful results. My mom made cobblers with whatever fruits were in season--peach, blackberry, even rhubarb. Yum.
What a coincidence--Cowboy Kent Rollins just did an Oklahoma chuckwagon blackberry cobbler for Mr. H and Friends. Mr. and Mrs. H and daughter Baby H are British, visiting the US on another food tour. Here's a link, should be cued up to the making of the cobbler. He does it exactly as I mentioned above! ruclips.net/video/IVtiOiWcs5Q/видео.html
This is how my grandmas did it. Pour the dough in, then mix the fruit and spices and sugar in the same bowl. Pour fruit mixture in. Bake at 350 until golden brown.
I love peach cobbler. I grew up making the "Lazy Man's Peach Cobbler". It's like most cobblers and baked in the oven. When my oven was messed up for a couple of years I found it could be made in a crockpot. You take a half cup of butter and melt in the bottom of your dish. Mix 1 cup self rising flour, one cup sugar, and one cup milk together and pour over the butter. If you want to add spice to the batter you can. Then take one large can or 2 (15 ounce) regular sized cans of sliced peaches and drain them, saving the liquid. Pour peaches over the batter. Measure the peach liquid and add enough milk to make 2 cups. Pour over the peaches and bake until done. The crust will rise up and over most of the peaches and there will be pockets of extra buttery goodness.
Looks yummy! Using canned peaches you could probably get away with not cooking them or minimally cooking them before putting the topping on. Since they are already so soft
That turned out really well. Of course, you can imagine what it would be like with fresh peaches! I love Cobblers, Crisps (Crumbles), Buckles, Betties and Pan Dowdies.
@@scotthuish67: In a perfect world, sure. But for the rest of us, it’s canned (ideally home-canned) and then frozen. Personally, I love canned fruit: peaches, pears, pineapple, apricots, and especially maraschino cherries. Not so much for berries, though.
@@scotthuish67 Yeah, I live on the Oregon coast, so they just don't grow here, but every year my parents make a 180 mile round trip inland to the Roseburg area orchards to get a bunch, mostly for canning, but I'll get as many as I can use! I'm trying to think of others, but it seems no other fruit comes close to having the wonderful aroma of ripe peaches!
@@EastSider48215 I can just imagine what it was like for our ancestors, when they didn't have a store to go to, with a million choices. When fruit started getting ripe and they could make pies, cobblers, etc., that had to be so wonderful, having something sweet and flavorful to eat, after months of monotonous foods!
Hello, Meckineers! I'm so glad that you like peach cobbler! It's a huge tradition in the United States and I hope that your dad makes more cobblers for you. Blueberry is delicious! Psst. Tell him that you need vanilla bean ice cream with it. Great video, Captain Meck. Thanks! Edit: I've done hundreds of cobblers and have never needed to pre-bake any canned fruit. Just put in it the pan, stir in the spices and go!
@@captainmeck2752 Thanks. If you see anything labeled 'pie filling' that's fruit avoid it though. It's so much sugar. I find most American desserts wayyyy too sweet. Even our bread is sweet.
In the US there are lots of baked fruit-based desserts similar to a cobbler. The difference is usually about where or what the crust is. A Cobbler is a fruit dessert baked with a top crust of pie dough or biscuit dough but no bottom crust. A Crumble (sometimes called a Crisp in Canada) is a fruit dessert similar to cobbler but made with a brown sugar, flour, butter and old-fashioned rolled oats crumbled loosely on top, baked until browned and crisp. A Brown Betty is a variant on the crisp, made with alternating layers of fruit with spices and buttered crumbs. A Buckle consists of fruit and cake baked together, with a streusel topping; as it bakes the fruit and streusel topping makes the cake “buckle” (it resembles a coffee cake).
I'm from Georgia, the Peach State (for real, that's our motto & you'll see images of peaches everywhere). I grew up on this stuff. You did good & canned is totally fine. Peaches aren't in season all year round so we use canned when we can't get fresh.
Also from Georgia and I completely agree on the canned peaches. Chances are unless you're growing them yourself or buying the peaches directly from the farmer then canned is the closest to fully tree ripened (aka freshest and sweetest) that is possible to get.
My daughter makes peach cobbler using canned biscuit. The biscuit is placed on the bottom of the pan with the peaches poured over the top. As the it cooks the biscuits float to the top. It's really good and easy to make.
My granny made quick cobbler. Melt butter one cup put in baking dish. Mix dough, usually pourable milk, flour sugar etc. Pour into butter pan. Add peaches and bake. The dough will rise covering peaches somewhat.
The H family published a video today cooking with cowboy Kent Rollins and in the later half of it they make a blackberry cobbler, it's the other version, with the batter. You should try this and see which your family prefers. Time stamp 17:30 ruclips.net/video/IVtiOiWcs5Q/видео.htmlsi=_8WnOIptVIB2jyjI
Oh, my gosh, that looked so good! The blackberries will be ripe where I live in a few weeks and the vines are loaded with blossoms. I can't wait to make a cobbler. I love that you're trying all these recipes. I hear so many people wishing they could try the things they're seeing online and they don't realize how easy a lot of it is to make. You could open a diner. Hello to the Mini-Mecks 🖖🏽
Thank you Angela!! I'm having a blast (although I won't lie, it's quite hard work. The editing alone is taking the best part of two days 🤯🤯) There are so many more cobblers to try, I'm excited
I'm so glad y'all liked it! If you use fresh fruit, you don't have to do the pre-baking of the fruit thing. Also, I like a peach-raspberry cobbler (avec ice cream, always) or a blackberry cobbler. Dang, you've flung a cobbler craving on me!
Ha! I love that somewhere in America someone will be making a cobbler because of my video A peach/raspberry cobbler might just finish me off. Can't cope with the amazing possibilities
But mixed berry [blackberry/raspberry/strawberry/blueberry, etc.] cobbler / crisp is the best. :P ;) So good! Peach is also great. Cherry's not bad, but a little over-hyped IMO. Not sure why I don't like cherry [pies & crisps/cobblers] as much as some of the other options. Maybe it's just me. And maybe it depends on the particular type of cherries used? Dunno...
Frozen peaches are better for making cobbler if fresh aren't available. Canned have syrup and other additives that will not taste the same as made with unprocessed fruit
Mr H an Friend from England just posted a video where they are in the US at Kent Rolling ranch. The second half of the video, Kent teaches them how to make a stupidity simple blackberry cobbler. It was a liquid batter with the fruit poured on top an baked. The bread expanded around the fruit. You should watch it if you plan to make a cobbler again. Odd two of my British channels that test American foods posted a Cobbler video at the same time.
OMG. How did i miss this video.? Four months later and I'm just now seeing it. Great video. I knew you'd love it. It is truly an American classic. For me, I must have the cobbler warm. The contrast with the ice cream is heavenly. Cheers
To say hello in American you say 'Howdy' or 'How you doin'. Not more than 15 minutes before this released, I was watching 'Mr H & Friends' channel while he & the wife were making Blackberry Cobbler on a chuck wagon. On the windy prairie of Oklahoma. Don't try this of course, but it might be interesting to watch. Good job on the cobbler Meck. Now I'm motivated to go fix something myself.
Strawberry rhubarb pies are an American staple desert as are lemon meringue and key lime which get more attention. Nationally we have a major soft spot for blueberry muffins and donuts. You can find home made fudge in many gas stations across the country. The Whoopie Pie is a New England classic that has recently gone national. Needhams are peppermint potato and coconut candies coated in chocolate that are again mostly homemade, again from New England. Mississippi Mud Pie... Midwest's Death By Chocolate parfait like deserts.
@@captainmeck2752 let me know when you want a list of the Americanized versions of international dishes. Be very careful diving into the topics of American Goulash and Chop Suey.
You can make a cobbler out of almost any fresh fruit of the season, not a melon - I've never seen it done with strawberries. But blueberries, cherries, apples, peaches, blackberries, or even a mixed berry combination, are wonderful! In many cases, the berries are picked out of Grandma's garden or from the market or farm stand. In the Southern US under that shady tree, it would probably be Southern Fried Chicken, with wonderful garden veggies, along with mashed potatoes and gravy or a potato salad. Or it might be a (freshly caught) fish fry with hush puppies and wonderful garden veggies. Potato salad is what I make in the summer.
My grandmother used to make me apple cobbler, because we live in the Pacific Northwest lots of apples here. I had it when I was a child and I’m 67 now, and I was far away from the deep south as I could be.
Yes, we say hello too! 25 years ago on vacation in San Diego I overheard a British child at the next breakfast table over ask where all the Americans were 😊
There's 2 you tube channels that you should take a look at if you don't already.1Cowboy Kent Rollins 2)Mr H. and Friends.They just did a colab and made blackberry cobbler too You could diversify the scoring a little by categories now that you're recipe knowledge is growing.
Thanks Dave. I have watched both of those channels so great recommendations! I like the scoring idea. Something will need to change as I cook more and more.
Hello Anthony and hello Palm Springs! When I used to stream on Twitch I had a big map of America I used to refer to when I had American viewers. I always remember trying to find California as I thought it was a city! The look on my face when I realised it was a state. The shame!
As a Brit I used to make a cobbler a hearty stew with savoury scone mix on top not sure where it came from but I have no memories of sweet cobblers. I think a savoury one would be my preference.
Captain Meck that looks fantastic! Great job! My Mom was from Oklahoma and she made hers very much like the recipe you used. I dare say your topping looks better! 😮 She used home canned peaches from the orchard across the street so it probably evens out.😄
Hello back little cousins, to the mini mechs. Good job on the cobbler. You should try it with other fruits when you get a chance, but peach is my favorite.
Well done again! I love Mini Mechs were liking it as well. I'm personally not a peach fan so my favorites would be blueberry, blackberry or cherry. You'll have to try all the fruits in the future!
Blackberry or mixed berry crisps/ crumbles are also a delight... ^_^ 'Course, for another brilliant dessert: fresh fudge brownies with a nice glass of milk. Yum! Chocolate chip blondies are also delicious! Then, of course, there's pumpkin pie, but that's more a Thanksgiving / Christmas dish. Or apple pie of some form or function. Whether Dutch Apple Pie or some other variety...
Wow there must be a cultural difference I didnt know about. Everyone in the states loves Hook! Especially everyone old enough who grew up with it. That peach cobbler looked amazing!
I may have overstated the negativity towards Hook. I don't know many people here who love it as much as I do. The critics were quite harsh and Spielberg said it's the one film he regrets making (or at least didn't turn out how it wanted). But it's a classic!
Definitely a different recipe than I use. Mine came down to me through my grandmothers. One usually made peach and the other made blackberry cobbler from blackberries we picked in her backyard. I don’t use a dumpling type dough. Mine is a pourable type dough. Also I’m just not an ice cream and pie/cobbler girl. I prefer whipped cream. Lastly, I like to use fresh peaches over canned peaches.
Peach cobbler is my favorite kind of cobbler. Yours looks great, and you're doing it right with the vanilla ice cream. edit: Howdy from Oklahoma to the mini Mecks!
Peach Cobbler is best when made with ripe summer peaches rather than canned peaches, although canned peaches are ok when peaches are not in season. I'd also recommend cherry cobbler when made with sour cherries. Try it again when peaches are in season and I bet it will score 100;
What I like about a cobbler is that it is not typically really sweet. Its got some sugar but its mostly just fruit, juice, butter, flour, baking powder. Peaches at high summer are just so delicious, so we dont tend to make peach cobbler except during summer. For me the worst part is skinning the peaches. It gets really messy. I even like without ice cream.
As others have probably said, cobbler is not 'southern,' it is more rural altho popular in cities too. Where fruit is grown, you will find cobblers. E.g., Michigan is known for cherries = cherry cobbler. Washington state grows peaches etc...., New England has apples, etc... :) And I adored mini-Meck 2 wanting to speak clearly to us by asking how to say Hello. So darlin' and so earnest. lol
Gotcha MileMarker. So many wonderful fruits over there! Yes bless him. You think he'd know considering all the American movies and TV shows he watches 🤣
Recipe Suggestion Try Fish and Chips but substitute the chip for Hush Puppies, they are common with catfish but would work with any white fish. Like Cod.
I know I am new here. But I feel like I gave to add my two cents(opinion)in here. I think you should have 2 separate lists. One for savory foods and one for deserts/sweets. I just don't think it's fair to compare the two. That's just me. But I have enjoyed the few videos ove watched. And you are doing a really good job at fixing American dishes. My hat is off to you. Thanks fir what you are doing. Have a good one.
not sure you need to prebake if you're not using fresh peaches did you make biscuits with water instead of buttermilk? I think the acidity in the buttermilk triggers the leavening in the baking soda (which is an element of the baking powder) and gives you lighter biscuits overall, these looked fantastic! and seemingly super easy to make ... and we have fresh peaches galore in the US right now, so going to try it (I've never made a cobbler before, only eaten them)
I would re-write your imagination of sitting outside with the family after a chicken fried steak to a seafood boil or bbq, especially bbq. You definitely took the more involved way to make cobbler, if you make it again with the batter pouring method I'd imagine you'd have it a lot more often. Using the batter makes cobbler an active 10 minute ordeal. The crust will be softer and it will be more bready, but it's good enough for a lot of people to make it that way.
I have no doubt the score would have broke top three if you'd used fresh peaches! We used to make cobbler and pie from fresh peaches from our yard growing up. There really is no contest between fresh peaches and canned.
Oh you did the hard version with baking the peaches first. Just mix your peaches with spices and flour and put them in the baking dish. Mix up your "biscuit" batter with spices you like in it but thinner (bit more milk), more like thick cake batter. Dollop it on the unbaked peaches. Put a little dot of butter on each dollop. Bake till dollops are lightly browned. Nothing to it. Some people put all the biscuit/cake batter at the bottom of the pan and cover it with the syrupy peaches. The cake erupts up through the peaches in clumps while the fruit sinks down in syrupy wells while it bakes. This dish is good with any soft fruit. Blackberries grow wild in a lot of the south and they're a nuisance weed with vicious thorns-- except when the berries are ripe. Then they're most welcome in cobblers, pancakes and ice cream.
Peach cobblers are a wonderful delight, but I have a reserved place in my heart for a blackberry cobbler on a summer dinner table.
Word.
I got a blackberry patch in my backyard. Makes me wanna go pick then cobble 😂
Blackberry cobbler is so good it'll make you slap your momma as they say.

In the US there are lots of baked fruit-based desserts similar to a cobbler. The difference is usually about where or what the crust is. A Cobbler is a fruit dessert baked with a top crust of pie dough or biscuit dough but no bottom crust. A Crumble (sometimes called a Crisp in Canada) is a fruit dessert similar to cobbler but made with a brown sugar, flour, butter and old-fashioned rolled oats crumbled loosely on top, baked until browned and crisp. A Brown Betty is a variant on the crisp, made with alternating layers of fruit with spices and buttered crumbs. A Buckle consists of fruit and cake baked together, with a streusel topping; as it bakes the fruit and streusel topping makes the cake “buckle” (it resembles a coffee cake).

I LOVE peach cobbler! You must try any Southern grandmother's peach cobbler. Some will blow your mind!
If I can, I will. I just need to find a Southern Grandma. And then buy a plane ticket 🤣🤣
Peach cobbler is my favorite dessert
Peach cobbler in a Dutch oven cooked outdoors is a special treat as well,
Oh lovely!
Yes, we say hello too! 25 years ago on vacation in San Diego I overheard a British child at the next breakfast table over ask where all the Americans were 😊
😂😂 Brilliant.
Captain! Another direct hit! I think you were spot on with your cobbler recipe. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Steve!
@@captainmeck2752 any time Cap’n!
There's 2 you tube channels that you should take a look at if you don't already.1Cowboy Kent Rollins 2)Mr H. and Friends.They just did a colab and made blackberry cobbler too You could diversify the scoring a little by categories now that you're recipe knowledge is growing.
Thanks Dave. I have watched both of those channels so great recommendations! I like the scoring idea. Something will need to change as I cook more and more.
👍👍👍👍👍 for authenticity and execution
Thanks so much👍🏻👍🏻
Looks great, Oli! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I love how hard it seems for you to remember what number the kids are lol. Classic dad move.
I know Micah! You got me there 🤣🤣 Just don't ask me their ages!
I love peach cobbler!!!! Love the channel Meck!!!
Thanks Dale!
I made a crumble last week. It was the bomb. Im trying for a cobbler next time.
Nice! Good luck
Hello from America. Palm Springs California.
Hello Anthony and hello Palm Springs! When I used to stream on Twitch I had a big map of America I used to refer to when I had American viewers. I always remember trying to find California as I thought it was a city! The look on my face when I realised it was a state. The shame!
@@captainmeck2752 that is funny! I'm going to start telling people I live in a city haha
Any fresh fruit in season makes a great cobbler. Serve with fresh whipped cream. If served hot i use ice cream.
Yum!
I have to say that your Peach Cobbler looked scrumptious!
Thank you Lillie!
As a Brit I used to make a cobbler
a hearty stew with savoury scone mix on top
not sure where it came from
but I have no memories of sweet cobblers.
I think a savoury one would be my preference.
Yes, I've definitely had a savoury one before many years ago!
You just keep getting better Cap'n!
Thank you Allen 😍😍
Captain Meck that looks fantastic! Great job! My Mom was from Oklahoma and she made hers very much like the recipe you used. I dare say your topping looks better! 😮 She used home canned peaches from the orchard across the street so it probably evens out.😄
Wonderful that people there can their own peaches. What a treat!
@@captainmeck2752 California. Orchards galore.😄
Your really fun, and a good and darring cook too!
Why thank you Carla!
Good for picnics and served with sweet iced tea
Yes 😊
Hello back little cousins, to the mini mechs. Good job on the cobbler. You should try it with other fruits when you get a chance, but peach is my favorite.
Loving the suggestions from others about blueberries, cherries etc! Thank you Sergeant 👍👍
Hook is one of if not the best Peter Pan movies. Glad you liked peach cobbler and I highly recommend trying cherry cobbler at some point.
Oh yes!
Well done again! I love Mini Mechs were liking it as well. I'm personally not a peach fan so my favorites would be blueberry, blackberry or cherry. You'll have to try all the fruits in the future!
I just can't cope with this new cobbler obsession! Blueberries, blackberries and cherries oh my!
@@captainmeck2752 lol!
Crumbles are also pretty common here in the US. You might want to look into something called a "dump cake" too.
I've heard of this dump cake....
Job well done, Captain!
Thanks Jane!
Do an Oklahoma onion burger
Adding to the list! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
My grandmother made amazing peach cobbler. She used frozen peaches, and just dumped everything in the pan and magic resulted.
Fantastic. Grandmothers are just magical beings anyway!
Blackberry or mixed berry crisps/ crumbles are also a delight... ^_^
'Course, for another brilliant dessert: fresh fudge brownies with a nice glass of milk. Yum!
Chocolate chip blondies are also delicious!
Then, of course, there's pumpkin pie, but that's more a Thanksgiving / Christmas dish.
Or apple pie of some form or function. Whether Dutch Apple Pie or some other variety...
The possibilities are ENDLESS MG!
Wow there must be a cultural difference I didnt know about. Everyone in the states loves Hook! Especially everyone old enough who grew up with it. That peach cobbler looked amazing!
I may have overstated the negativity towards Hook. I don't know many people here who love it as much as I do. The critics were quite harsh and Spielberg said it's the one film he regrets making (or at least didn't turn out how it wanted). But it's a classic!
Definitely a different recipe than I use. Mine came down to me through my grandmothers. One usually made peach and the other made blackberry cobbler from blackberries we picked in her backyard. I don’t use a dumpling type dough. Mine is a pourable type dough. Also I’m just not an ice cream and pie/cobbler girl. I prefer whipped cream. Lastly, I like to use fresh peaches over canned peaches.
You are a girl who knows what she likes. And all your choices sound amazing
Cute, my new favorite channel 😂
Oh thank you!
Looked very good. Hook is fantastic, also.
Thank you and yes! I love it 🪝
Outstanding🎉
Peach cobbler is my favorite kind of cobbler. Yours looks great, and you're doing it right with the vanilla ice cream.
edit: Howdy from Oklahoma to the mini Mecks!
Hello Oklahoma!! Thanks Jay 👍🏻👍🏻
Peach Cobbler is best when made with ripe summer peaches rather than canned peaches, although canned peaches are ok when peaches are not in season. I'd also recommend cherry cobbler when made with sour cherries.
Try it again when peaches are in season and I bet it will score 100;
Absolutely. I bet it's amazing
What I like about a cobbler is that it is not typically really sweet. Its got some sugar but its mostly just fruit, juice, butter, flour, baking powder. Peaches at high summer are just so delicious, so we dont tend to make peach cobbler except during summer. For me the worst part is skinning the peaches. It gets really messy. I even like without ice cream.
Very true!
Nice! The vanilla ice-cream was the peace de resistance
Perfection!
As others have probably said, cobbler is not 'southern,' it is more rural altho popular in cities too. Where fruit is grown, you will find cobblers. E.g., Michigan is known for cherries = cherry cobbler. Washington state grows peaches etc...., New England has apples, etc... :) And I adored mini-Meck 2 wanting to speak clearly to us by asking how to say Hello. So darlin' and so earnest. lol
Gotcha MileMarker. So many wonderful fruits over there! Yes bless him. You think he'd know considering all the American movies and TV shows he watches 🤣
Hope you can try several more of these with fresh peaches or berries
Oh yes please!
Recipe Suggestion Try Fish and Chips but substitute the chip for Hush Puppies, they are common with catfish but would work with any white fish. Like Cod.
Great suggestion!
Thumbs up even though I haven’t watched it yet (have to run out of the house now)…
But I KNOW it’s going to be a thumbs up.
You're a star Ira!
I wish you could have had it with Blue Bell ice cream!! I'm subscribing!
Thank you for the sub Cody and what is this Blue Bell ice cream of which you speak?!
Cans are fine I always use can peaches for the cobblers I make
They were great. I imagine in season fresh would be even better!
It's time for the cobbler rabbit hole. Blueberry, Blackberry, or pear. The Blueberry cobbler will score two points higher.
OMG! What a rabbit hole. VERY happy to fall in. I've added all the varieties to my list 👍🏻👍🏻
You should try a dump cake, I'm a fan of Dolly Parton's recipe easy to make 5 ingredients kind of like a cross between a cake and a cobbler
Sounds good. You're not the first to suggest this. 👌🏻
I know I am new here. But I feel like I gave to add my two cents(opinion)in here. I think you should have 2 separate lists. One for savory foods and one for deserts/sweets. I just don't think it's fair to compare the two. That's just me. But I have enjoyed the few videos ove watched. And you are doing a really good job at fixing American dishes. My hat is off to you. Thanks fir what you are doing. Have a good one.
Thanks so much TexasRose. I do now indeed have a sweet AND a savoury list so everyone is happy 😁👍🏻👍🏻
@captainmeck2752 oh wow! That is so cool! Thank you. Have a great evening.
My mother used to make strawberry cobblers.
Wonderful!
Apple cobbler is really good as well. Give it a try.
Will do Elise! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hello Children!! lol how cute.
Hello Dale! 👋
@@captainmeck2752 Hello! Hope you have been enjoying our delicious foods.
Solid technique.
Thanks!
not sure you need to prebake if you're not using fresh peaches
did you make biscuits with water instead of buttermilk? I think the acidity in the buttermilk triggers the leavening in the baking soda (which is an element of the baking powder) and gives you lighter biscuits
overall, these looked fantastic! and seemingly super easy to make ... and we have fresh peaches galore in the US right now, so going to try it (I've never made a cobbler before, only eaten them)
Yes Marcel, the recipe was for fresh peaches originally so I probably didn't need to pre-bake. And I did use water for the biscuits.
Great video
Thanks Anthony 😍😍
I love that peach cobbler......truth is I like them all but a good strawberry/ rhubarb just might be tops.
Wow Coldspring!
I would re-write your imagination of sitting outside with the family after a chicken fried steak to a seafood boil or bbq, especially bbq. You definitely took the more involved way to make cobbler, if you make it again with the batter pouring method I'd imagine you'd have it a lot more often. Using the batter makes cobbler an active 10 minute ordeal. The crust will be softer and it will be more bready, but it's good enough for a lot of people to make it that way.
Gotcha, okay so a much looser biscuit mixture that pours 👍🏻👍🏻
My favorite is a flaky pie crust top with some big crystal sugar sprinkled on it...
Yum!
I have no doubt the score would have broke top three if you'd used fresh peaches! We used to make cobbler and pie from fresh peaches from our yard growing up. There really is no contest between fresh peaches and canned.
I'm sure you're right 👌🏻
I go super lazy with the 1 cup cobbler. 1 C sugar, flour, butter & fruit. Prefer no spices myself, I love the natural fruit flavor.
Fair enough, simple but effective.
Hey Meck, have you considered posting your top 20 in place of your top 10? I find myself wanting to be reminded what HASN’T made the cut.
Yes indeed. This is a good idea and I'll definitely have to change up the format the more foods I cook 👍🏻👍🏻
Next time try mixing all the seasoning in the peaches then bring to a boil. This will bring out taste more.
Thanks for the tip!
I prefer an apple or cherry cobbler, but I will eat about any kind of cobbler like blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, etc. 😁
Yum!
Oh you did the hard version with baking the peaches first. Just mix your peaches with spices and flour and put them in the baking dish. Mix up your "biscuit" batter with spices you like in it but thinner (bit more milk), more like thick cake batter. Dollop it on the unbaked peaches. Put a little dot of butter on each dollop. Bake till dollops are lightly browned. Nothing to it. Some people put all the biscuit/cake batter at the bottom of the pan and cover it with the syrupy peaches. The cake erupts up through the peaches in clumps while the fruit sinks down in syrupy wells while it bakes.
This dish is good with any soft fruit. Blackberries grow wild in a lot of the south and they're a nuisance weed with vicious thorns-- except when the berries are ripe. Then they're most welcome in cobblers, pancakes and ice cream.
Yum! Sounds so good. 😁
How many southern dishes do you add to your family's daily meals
The list is growing after starting this YT channel We haven't had any of the dishes regularly but they will all be made again for sure.
