Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds cherries (fresh, pitted, and cut in half)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
Filling Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sugar (granulated)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Batter Components:
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter (unsalted, melted, for the skillet)
Instructions
- Ignite the oven to a cozy 350°F, preparing a welcoming environment for your delectable dessert.
- Gently unite fresh cherries with sugar, cornstarch, tangy lemon juice, and a whisper of salt in a mixing vessel, allowing the flavors to mingle and harmonize.
- Create a dry foundation by thoroughly blending flour, sugar, leavening agent, and a subtle salt accent in a separate receptacle.
- Introduce a silky egg and smooth milk to the dry ingredients, stirring with a delicate touch until just incorporated – avoid overmixing.
- Transform a robust cast iron skillet into a culinary canvas by melting butter over medium flame, coating the surface with rich, golden sheen.
- Cascade the velvety batter into the heated skillet, establishing a tender base for the vibrant cherry mixture.
- Artfully distribute the cherry medley across the batter’s surface, ensuring an even, tempting arrangement.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, allowing the cobbler to transform for 40-45 minutes until the top achieves a golden, crisp perfection.
- Insert a toothpick to confirm doneness – it should emerge clean and unblemished.
- Permit the cobbler a brief moment to cool, then serve this rustic marvel while still warmly inviting.
Notes
- Select sweet, plump cherries for maximum flavor intensity and juiciness in the cobbler.
- Adjust sugar levels based on cherry sweetness to prevent overly sugary or tart results.
- Use fresh or frozen cherries interchangeably, thawing frozen cherries completely and draining excess liquid before mixing.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free baking blend for similar texture and taste.
