Sourdough Cobbler

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs of fruit

1/2 cup of brown sugar (may need up to 1 cup for tart fruit)

Spices or other flavors (see the section above for suggestions)

3/4 cup of flour (gluten-free or all-purpose flour, see notes)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

6 Tbsp butter (or margarine)

1 cup sourdough starter (see notes for an alternative)

2 Tbsp melted butter (or margarine)

3 tsp sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375F (180C).

Chop the fruit into thin slices or bite-sized pieces. Mix the fruit with the sugar and spices, and spread it out on the bottom of an 11-cup baking dish.

Combine the flour with baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices in a large bowl.

Cut the butter into the flour until it is evenly distributed, like a coarse meal. I usually do this by rubbing in the butter with my fingers, but you can use a pastry knife.

Mix in the sourdough starter to form a sticky dough. Avoid overmixing, you just need to bring the dough ingredients together.

Top the fruit with the cobbler biscuit dough.

Brush the top of the biscuit with melted butter, then sprinkle on some sugar.

Bake for 40-50 minutes until the dough is cooked and the top is nicely browned.

Serve with cream or custard.
