It's berry time. I picked a lot of blackberries this morning so I'll be making cobbler later. Here, for my sister-in-law, Laura, who has fresh picked blueberries, are two cobbler options! (Warning Laura - this is not exactly health food!)
Grammie's Cobbler Topping
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. baking powder
Mix all these ingredients together. The mixture will be rather crumbly. Put on top of fruit. Melt 6 TB butter and pour over fruit and topping. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, til lightly browned.
This recipe is from Grammie, my mother-in-law. It is for apple cobbler and calls for 3 1/2 cups of sliced apples with a quarter cup of sugar and some cinnamon and nutmeg with the topping and butter on top.
I always double this recipe. I put a generous amount of fruit in a 9x13 pan and put the doubled amount of topping over the fruit. Of course, I double the butter, too!
Amber's Cobbler Recipe which she calls "cuppa, cuppa, cuppa" shared with me while picking berries this morning.
1 cup of self rising flour
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of buttermilk
Amber says her grandmother would melt butter in the bottom of the pan and put in the fruit, sometimes adding a bit of sugar to the fruit. Then the topping gets poured on. I'm guessing it bakes for half an hour or so at 350.
So, there you go. A couple of cobbler recipes for your fresh picked berries.

Actually, Beth, you put the batter on top of the butter then sprinkle the fruit on top. That was part of the fun, you put the batter on the bottom and at then it ended up on top!
