This week's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Mixed Berry Cobbler and can be found on pages 416-417 of Dorie Greenspan's cookbook Baking: From My Home to Yours. It was chosen by Beth of Our Sweet Life.
This was fun to make. I followed the directions exactly, no substitutions in ingredients or measurements. It went together easily and quickly, baked for 60 minutes, and came out looking just like the photo in the book (well except for the star in the middle and the swirly fireworks design that I put on mine...4th of July coming up and all) with the rustic looking crust and the overflow of berry juices running along the outside of the pie plate.
The taste was wonderful, not too sweet, lots of berry goodness, and Mark and Matt declared the crust topping "just perfect" and thought the whole thing was a nice accompaniment to one or two scoops of French vanilla ice cream. (Alex is hypoglycemic so he rarely eats more than ice cream for dessert now and again.) If you don't care for crust, hmmmm...wonder who that could be....this one is easy to slide off so that you are left with just the berries and a little ice cream, really good also. It is not at all wasteful if the husband of the house loves crust and will readily add that to his plate. (It's good to marry the right kind of guy in matters such as these.) A keeper. Definitely...both the cobbler and the husband!
Next week's recipe is Apple Cheddar Scones, chosen by Karina of The Floured Apron and can be found on page 32 of Dorie's book.
