Berry Cobbler - soul food for the runner


Got this huge packet of berries from the store, (heard they are good for the healing of muscles after a long run). But they are just too much and honestly the frozen ones are'nt that great. So what do I do with them???

Make a cobbler. Saswata loves the peach cobbler that I make, and what a better way to surprise him. He will be back from a 12 day trip tomorrow ...yyyiiiiipppeeeeeeeeeeeee..gosh, I have missed him so much. its the little things that I miss the most, and its funny that its these very things that piss me off at times. I love him dearly, he knows that.

I look up recepies for the cobbler and then after reading a few recepies I ma ready to give it a go. I really enjoy baking so all of the ingredients were at hand. I needed some peace n quite so Poo took the kids to Safeway..phhhewww...what a releif!

SO here's what I did, and here's what you would need :
Crumble:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg (slightly beaten)
1/2 stick butter or margarine softened
3 tablespoons ice cold water
Filling:
4 cups berries (black, strawberries..anything berries really)
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 tablespoons flour
2 eggs
1/4 stick butter or margarine

Method:
Heat oven 400 degrees C.
Mix all the filling ingredients, add the berries last.
Mix all the crumble ingredients, and put it over the filling.
Sprinkle some sugar over the crumble and pop in in th oven for 45 mins.
Serve with whipping cream and/or vanilla bean ice cream.

I bet you are gonna love this one. You can make it with peaches as well, and that comes great too....

So much for me working out today, I am going to have a blast for dessert..Ain't I lucky!
