Cobblers???

[snake eyes]

Anyone got any cast iron cobbler recipes they would share??? Just had a friend
drop off about 10# of frozen peaches that have cobbler written all over them [/color]

I got a few cobbler recipes I'll dig up and post, snake...really easy to make!

[prairie dog]

recipe?  There's a recipe for makin' cobbler?

All I do is dump the fruit into the dutch oven, cover with a dry cake mix, add some margarine, or pour a soft drink over it and bake it.  You can add stuff like brown sugar, cinnamon, coconut, or Hershey's bars if you like.  Just don't try it with fruit cocktail, the grapes don't work so well.

Here's a few of my favorite versions;

Black Forest s'mores
Large can of cherry's
Chocolate cake mix
a can of Dr. Pepper poured gently into the dry cake mix
when it's done lay some Hershey's bars on top to melt and some marshmallows on that.  Put the lid back on with coals to toast the marshmallows.
The kids love this one.

Apple cobbler
large can of pears
white or yellow cake mix
1 stick of margarine or butter cut up and dropped onto he top of the dry cake mix.
sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the top and bake.

My personal favorite is peach
can peaches
white or yellow cake mix
butter
brown sugar.

Most adults like my raspberry sprite
1 large or two small cans raspberry pie filling
white cake mix
pour a can of Sprite gently into the cake mix and bake
serve with topping of caned whip cream.

Pina Colada
Large can crushed pineapple
white cake mix
gently pour a can of coconut milk into the cake mix.
Sprinkle grated coconut on top and bake.

Use your imagination, practically any combination of fruit, cake mix, and liquid will make a cobbler.

I guess I had it wrong...my recipes are for baking pans or a cast iron skillet, not a dutch oven...

Cobbler - Peach

2 15 oz cans sliced peaches in syrup
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk

Drain one can of peaches, reserve the liquid from the other. Place butter in pan and heat on stove or in the oven until melted. Mix the flour and sugar in a medium bowl. Pour batter over the melted butter in the pan. in a medium bowl. Stir in milk and reserved syrup. Arrange the peaches over the batter, cook for one hour at 350 deg.

Cobbler - Blackberry

1/2 stick butter melted, plus more for greasing pan
1 1/4 cups, plus 2 Tbs sugar
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup whole milk
2 cups berries, can try different kinds, or substitute peaches

Whisk together the sugar flour and milk in a medium bowl, whisk in the melted butter
If using berries, rinse and dry
Pour batter into the pan, sprinkle fruit evenly over the top
Sprinkle with  1/4 cup sugar
Cook for an hour at 350 deg

I like to sprinkle both of these with turbinado sugar.  Both to be topped with whipped cream.  If you know how to cook over the fire with a cast iron DO, using coals on the to and bottom, these should turn out decent, but may take some practice.

Jim,
     Oh,do I love blackberries or about any berry except blueberry   [/color]

A twist on PD's black forest... I think it was Duncan Hines that put out a chocolate cake mix that had a fudge packet in it. Cherries on the bottom, then the cake mix with half a can of cola mixed in, then drizzle that fudge packet over the top. Troop 57's secret recipe... well it was HA

Hint, these cobblers are really nicely enhanced with 1/4 tsp of fresh ground nutmeg.  I often add this to recipes that do not call for it.

This right here looks pretty good, too, saw it on FB...

Our camping cobbler is lot like SSE's, but has baking powder.  (Which, i guess, sadly wasn't around till the late 1850's, doggone it)

1/2 cup butter,
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup salt
3/4 cup milk

2lbs  fresh peaches or 2 16 oz cans of peaches and juice

We use a full ring of coals or charcoal on the bottom, and a full ring on top of the dutch oven, and it's usually done in about 50 minutes.  

I love cobbler.  At work we had a couple of folks bring in their dutch ovens, and mixed blueberries and peaches, apples and peach, peaches and cherries, but kept the cobbler part the same. They were all delicious!  And the folks who weren't used to cooking with coals and dutch ovens were amazed!

I would well imagine the alcohol would get cooked off.
