Perfect Cobbler

Dough:

1 3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup buttermilk


Choose a filling:

Peach filling

3 cups sliced peaches
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla

Rhubarb filling

3 cups rhubarb
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream (optional)

Berry filling

3 cups blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries or any combination
1/2 cup sugar (or more or less depending on how sweet the berries are)
2 tbsp. cornstarch

Apple filling

3 cups apple slices
1/4 - 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon


For filling:

Mix desired filling ingredients together. Spread evenly over a greased 8x8 or 9x9 pan. Preheat oven to 400˚.


For dough:

Sift together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is nearly the texture of coarse sand. Pour in buttermilk and toss with a fork until dough comes together. Gather dough into one big mass. Pinch off pieces and flatten to make flat irregular shapes and place each piece over the filling until all dough is used. Bake 25-30 minutes or until top turns slightly brown and fruit bubbles.
