Just a follow-up from Le Fort Cafe and the mad multi-tasking that goes on in a day. Okay, I’m 1 and 1. Here’s the breakdown (living in a sports-driven household, I speak with statistics – a language they can really understand!):
- The Cherry Cobbler = Amazing! +1
- The Ham Hock = RIP! -1
Moving on, then, from the Ham Hock Horror…
For the cobbler recipe, I reworked my classic dumpling recipe which I use for both beef and chicken stews. If you’d like to recreate this heavenly delight….
- Prepare cherries (or use the can variety)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Fill 9X13 pan with cherry filling
- In food processor: add 2 cups flour, 1 T sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 T baking power
- Place cover and while it’s running add 1 frozen stick of butter (1/2 C butter) *
- Mix until combined – should be crumbly in texture
- Add 1/2 C of heavy cream while running processor
- Should have the consistency of pie dough
- Pat dough into about 9 pieces to top cherry filling
- Sprinkle with sugar
- Bake for approximately 20 – 25 minutes (depending on your oven)
- Serve hot with REAL vanilla ice cream
Note: Before I had a food processor, I cut the frozen butter by hand using a pastry dough cutter (my sister actually uses a 2 knife method). In the long run, it probably is a faster method with less clean-up:)
EnJOY!
The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Psalm 126:3
