Frozen Rasberry Cobbler (By Dawnie)


This was a huge hit a couple of weeks ago when we had a dinner party. Its so easy but Shhh dont tell. Let everyone think you are an amazing cook and worked all day to make this dessert! Its especially good with vanilla sauce all over the top.
The best part is I always use frozen berries... its so much cheaper!



Ingredients:

  • 1 Stick butter
  • 1 1/4 cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon rising agent (Baking powder)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups rasberries or any berry (frozen or fresh)


Instructions:


  • melt the butter in the microwave.
  • In another bowl stir together 1 cup sugar, rising agent and the flour
  • Slowly add milk to sugar and flour mixture
  • finally adding the melted butter
  • Now butter the baking dish and dont be stingy the butter is the best part!
  • pour the batter in the dish
  • sprinkle the berries over the top of the batter (I sometimes push the berries down into the batter a little so I can get as many as I can!)
  • Sprinkle the remainding 1/4 cup sugar over the top
  • bake in a 350 degree oven for an hour or until perfectly golden and bubbly
  • I sprinkle a little more sugar ten minutes before its dont to make it a little crispy! YUM!

ENJOY!


Love,


Dawnie
