Last weekend we picked up some berries from the Amish Farmer's Market. I had the intention of making berry cobbler with them and then on a whim, decided to go gluten free. I frantically searched the internet for a quick and easy recipe last night as these berries needed to be used ASAP. Found one and off to the grocery store I went. It was YUMMY! If I hadn't made it, I wouldn't have guessed it was GF!
Quick and Easy Gluten Free Berry Cobbler
Adapted from About.com
Preheat the oven to 350. Grease an 8x8 pan and put the berries in, set aside.
Filling
4 Cups of Berries (I didn't measure, just used what we had)
3/4 Cup of Sugar
3 tbsp Tapioca
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 Cup Water
1 tbsp lemon juice
Whisk the sugar, tapioca and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Add the water and lemon juice and bring to a boil over med-high heat. When bubbly and thick, pour over the berries. We added a little more tapioca than called for.
Topping
1 Cup of gluten free flour blend (I used Bob's Red Mill)
2 tbsp of sugar
1-1/2 tsp of baking powder (gluten free)
1/4 tsp salt (we use sea salt around here)
2 tbsp of butter
1/2 Cup of milk (regular 1%)
Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter. Pour in the milk and mix with a hand mixer. My batter never got really thick and clingy like the original recipe stated. Pour over the berry filling mixture and pop into the oven. In about 35-40 minutes, remove and let cool before enjoying.
