I enjoy searching Pinterest. I don't actually Pin anything but I do click on a lot of things and save the webpages in my favorites. Most of the time when I'm searching Pinterest I feel like a horrible mom who doesn't grow her own vegetables, destress her own furniture, make her own natural finger paints, or take unique and original photos. I'm just me, I'm not a Noble prize winner in mothering.
After saving about 30 things into my favorites I decided to actually get cracking on some of these ideas. First up: Berry Cobbler. It's actually a recipe review from someone else but it has all the information so I thought I'd share.
I didn't take any pictures but if you want to the "original" recipe, go here.
I started putting this cobbler together at 8:30 at night since I was eager to try something new and wanting dessert. By 9:20 it was done and ready to be consumed...and was pretty good! The house smells amazing right now and I am definitely going to make this again if I ever need to bring a dessert over to anyone's house.
Ingredients:
2 packages of 12 oz frozen fruit - I screwed up and used 48 ounces total on accident...I scooped most of it back out.
1 box white cake mix - I imagine you could use a vanilla flavor if you wanted
1 can of Sprite (or diet spite/7-up, whatever)
Grab a 9x13 baking pan and line it with Pam.
Put berries into pan and spread them out.
Put the dry cake mix all over the top.
Now this part was weird originally to me but it seemed to work out fine: slowly pour the soda over the cake mix. DO NOT MIX. Just pour the pop out and it will give you a crust.
Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.
I suggest ice cream as a side! This recipe off Pinterest was a success!!!
We used to make something similar at home, but a little faster and probably worse for you:
ReplyDelete-Put fruit in pan (usually frozen but from our own garden)
-Pour dry cake mix on top
-Cut up stick butter or margarine into squares about 1/8-1/4 inch thick and distribute over top of dry cake mix (can't remember how much we used...)
-Microwave for 20 minutes
(back before we had the microwave with the turn-table, we'd do 10 minutes, rotate, 10 more minutes).
I love the variation in the crust... some parts would be drier from not having lots of butter, and some would be a little crispy from cooking in the butter, and some would be a little buttery and soggy... all delicious though. Definately best served warm with ice cream.
Now I want some. Yum Yum. We just called it "crunch," like "cherry crunch" or "apple crunch" or whatever. Sometimes we'd make it with chocolate cake mix. Marty calls this Johnny cake.
