This is from an old family recipe that my friend Victoria shared with me. Fast and easy to make, I’ve baked it with a variety of fruits and it always exceeds my expectations. Just writing the recipe here makes my stomach growl in anticipation of succulent baked fruit popping up through the crunchy topping.

 

Serves 6 to 8

 

Ingredients:

 

– 1 cup flour

– 2 tsp. baking powder

– 1/4 tsp. salt

– 3/4 cup sugar

– 1 tsp. cinnamon

– 3/4 cup milk

– 1/2 cup butter

– 4 cups fruit cubed (mango, apple, rhubarb – whatever turns you on!)

 

– Optional: heavy cream or vanilla ice cream

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Put the butter into a 20cm x 25cm x 5 cm baking pan and slide into the oven. While the butter is melting, add the milk to the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed. Don’t over mix.

When the butter is bubbling and the pan is hot, take out of the oven and pour the batter into the hot pan. The butter will rise around the edges. Put the fruit on top and immediately put back into the oven. Bake about 40 minutes or until the top is brown and crisp.

This is best eaten warm. Serve by itself or with heavy cream drizzled over individual portions or a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Optional: You can add palm sugar, nutmeg, vanilla, berries, peaches, or strawberries – let your imagination run rampant!

 

 

Victoria’s Fantastic Crispy Fruit Cobbler

 

Untuk 6 sampai 8 orang

 

Bahan bahan:

– 1 cangkir tepung terigu

– 2 tsp. baking powder

– 1/4 tsp. garam

– 3/4 cangkir gula castor

– 1 tsp. bubuk kayu manis

– 3/4 cangkir susu

– 1/2 cangkir mentega

– 4 cangkir buah buahan, potong segiempat. Pakai buah seperti : mangga, apel, rhubarb, strawberry

 

Cara Membuat :

Panaskan oven sampai 375 derajat F.

Masukkan tepung terigu, baking powder, garam, gula castor, dan bubuk kayu manis kedalam mangkok. Aduk sampai semua bahan tercampur bagus. Biarkan di samping.

Taruh mentega di dalam cetakan 20 x 25 x 5 cm dan masukkan cetakan di dalam oven. Sementara mentega mencair, tambahkan susu ke dalam mangkok yang berisi campuran tepung terigu. Aduk sebentar saja hanya sampai rata, kalau terlalu lama tidak enak.

Waktu mentega panas dan menggelegak, keluar cetakan dari oven dan tuangkan campuran susu dan tepung di dalamnya. Cetakan harus panas sekali. Masukkan buah buahan diatas adonan dan secepat mungkin masukkan kembali ke oven. Oven kira kira 40 menit sampai bagian atasnya akan berwarna kecoklatan dan adonanya renyah “kriuk kriuk”.

Catatan: Bisa tambahkan gula merah, bubuk pala, vanila atau yang lain yang anda suka. Biar imaginasimu berjalan liar!
