This past Friday we went to the ward's campout. We made blackberry cobbler in our dutch oven. It was YUMMY and many campers stopped by for a taste. Here is our recipe:
Berry Cobbler
\
Prepare at home and take in three separate Ziploc bags:
Cobbler: Combine until butter is distributed and the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup butter
- 5 Tablespoon instant dry milk powder
OR
- 2 cups baking mix (Bisquick)
- 4 tablespoons sugar
Berry mixture:
- 6 -8 cups of fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, or triple berry mix are good choices)
- 3/4 cup sugar (less or more to taste, depends on how sweet the berries are and how sweet you would like your cobbler to be)
- Zest of 1lemon (about 1 teaspoon)
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 Tablespoons)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 Tablespoons instant tapioca (best if you can whirl it in a spice grinder or blender to eliminate any chance of “fish eyes”)
Cinnamon Sugar mixture:
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
At the campsite:
- light 26 charcoal briquettes
- Empty berry mixture into a Dutch oven
- Pour 1 cup of water into the cobbler mixture, reseal the bag squish until the batter is just moistened. (If you want you can use 3/4 cup water and 1 egg)
- Drop batter in small mounds on top of berry mixture
- Sprinkle mounds with cinnamon sugar
- Cover with lid and place briquettes underneath (10) and on top (16) of the Dutch oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, until the top is browned.
