Texas Cobbler

It's been a while since I've been on here!!! I'm so sorry..kids, kids and kids' schedules! Ha. I just had to post this though, it turned out so delish!
I actually came across this on facebook and typed it up and put it away in my recipe's. I came across it this week and decided to try it and I'm so glad I did. It truly is the best I've ever had or made. Please try this recipe...you won't be disappointed!




Texas Cobbler


Ingredients

4 tbsp. unsalted butter cut into 4 pieces, and 8 tbsp. butter melted and cooled
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1 1/2 Tsp. Grated Lemon Zest
15 Ounces or 3 Cups Fruit
1 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
2 1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
3/4 Tsp. Salt
1 1/2 Cups Milk

Directions
  1. Adjust your oven rack to the upper-middle position and preheat to 350 degrees. Place 4 tbsp. cut-up butter in 13 x 9 baking dish and put in oven. Heat until butter is melted, about 8-10 minutes...DO NOT LET IT BURN!
  2. If you use fresh fruit do the following:
    1. Pulse 1/4 cup sugar and lemon zest in food processor until combined, about 5 pulses. Mash fruit and 1 tbsp. lemon sugar together in bowl until berries are coarsely mashed.
  3. I didn't feel like doing all that, so I used a 15 oz can of blueberries  and put the lemon sugar on top when I put the berries in the baking dish.
  4. Combine flour, remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar, baking powder, and salt in large bowl. Whisk in milk and 8 tbsp. melted, cooled butter until smooth. Remove baking dish from oven and pour batter into it.
  5. Dollop the fruit mixture evenly over the batter, sprinkle with remaining lemon sugar and bake until golden brown and the edges are crisp, about 40-50 minutes. Let cobbler cool so you won't burn your tongue off (ha) and I added ice cream.
Listen...I'm telling you, it's awesome. You may want to not do the whole lemon zest thing, but trust me...DO IT!!! It just gives it this zing a ling. I mean....dude. Yeah, I said it..dude!
