I'm in search of an outstanding cobbler recipe.
I usually make cobbler with a biscuit recipe for the cobbler part. But my husband would like a cobbler with more of a pie crust top. So, I've been experimenting.
Last night I modified a cobbler recipe I found in my Betty Crocker Cookbook by adding less milk and cutting the baking powder in half. But the baking powder still made the top too puffy for Kyle's taste.
My next move is to make a basic pie crust and try using milk for the water. The best thing about searching for a cobbler recipe is that even the ones that don't match Kyle's fancy still taste fantastic.
A word here about the Betty Crocker Cookbook. The cookbook includes great information for all the basics--how to cook a roast, substitutions for sour milk, and cobbler. What I especially love is the description of peach cobbler: "Two healthful basics--fruit and bread--are provided in each serving of this dessert." It actually says that right in the cookbook. This sentence makes it appear that I would be doing my family a huge favor to serve them cobbler. Now, given that I serve cobbler with ice cream, I am giving my family fruit, bread, and dairy. The only thing I can do to make it a complete meal is to throw a pork chop on top.
