Brown Sugar Mixed Berry Cobbler

 I found this recipe off the Epicurious Website. It is from an issue of Gourmet 2010 by Andrea Albin

Thought this would a perfect dessert for the Grandchildren
AND I was right… they loved it
As it is winter here, I used frozen berries, in fact I love Frozen berries
especially for baking

When I was young, I really loved it when my Mother made a hot dessert
Steamed puddings, Fruit pies, Lemon Delicious Pudding
Cobbler is not really a New Zealand Tradition, but I'm always trying something new
After all it is just scones /dumplings on top of cooked fruit! 
Easy Peasy
This recipe feeds 6-8, I halved it for the 4 of us. It was enough

Ingredients
Berries
        3/4 cup packed brown sugar
        2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
        1 kg of frozen mixed berries
Cobbler
        2 cups all-purpose flour
        2 teaspoons baking powder
        Rounded 1/2 teaspoon salt
        1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
        3/4 cup whole milk
Topping
        1 teaspoon granulated sugar
plus 1 teaspoon packed dark brown sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 200C with rack in middle.
Stir together brown sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl.
Add berries and toss to coat. 

Transfer mixture to a shallow 3-quart baking dish and bake until mixture is hot, about 12 minutes        Meanwhile, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Add butter and blend with your fingertips or a pastry blender
until mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. 

Add milk and stir until dough just comes together.

Remove baking dish from oven and drop mounds of dough onto hot berries.

Stir together the topping... the brown sugar and the granulated sugar and sprinkle over dough.
Bake cobbler until topping is golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Cool to warm, about 30 minutes.
Some cream or ice ream
and an excellent dessert is on the table
