This recipe is a synthesis of a various recipes i’ve seen on making cobblers.  i like mine to have less sugar so that you can really taste the berries.

Ingredients 

• 3/4 c butter
• 2-3 cups of mixed berries
• 1 1/2 c flour
• 1 t baking powder
• 1/3 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1/2 cup raw cane sugar
• 1 T cinnamon
• (opt) 1/4 c chopped crystalized ginger (in addition to where cinnamon is used)
• (opt) 1/4 c chopped pecans (in addition to where cinnamon is used)
• (opt) replace 1/2 cup of the flour with oats ground in a food processor

Mix the butter in with the flour & baking powder.  Add in the milk, mix into a ball, kneed a few times.  Put 1/3 of the dough on the bottom of the disk, sprinkle with 1/2 of the cinnamon.

Toss in the berries.  Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon.

Add the rest of the dough to make the cap.  Mix the warm water & sugar, driizzle over the top.

Bake at 350 for 45 mins.  Sprinkle the top w/ a bit of sugar and bake for 20 more mins.

Enjoy with a good quality vanilla ice cream!

Note: another good fruit combination is pear and mango.  add blueberries too!
