Did You know You Can Make This Berrylicious Dessert In A Skillet?!!?

 

Check out what our friends over at the Loveless Cafe have to say about this amazing skillet dessert:

“Most country cooks know the beauty of serving a cobbler right out of the cast-iron skillet it’s cooked in. The pan is perfect for the dessert, because the berries, tossed with sugar, flour, and spices, are stewed first on the stovetop until thickened, so that the biscuits can be dropped onto the hot stewed fruit before the cobbler is slipped into the oven to bake.”

 

Let’s all become those amazing country cooks.

 

 

Ingredients

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons Gold Medal unbleached all-purpose flour

3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons Domino sugar

1 1/4 teaspoons Calumet baking powder

3 tablespoons Land O’ Lakes cold unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)

1 egg (lightly beaten)

1/4 cup heavy cream

5 cups blueberries

3/4 teaspoon grated orange zest

1/4 teaspoon ground mace

2/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (2-3 oranges)

Haagen Daaz vanilla or buttermilk ice cream (optional)

 

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  1. In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of the flour with 3 tablespoons of the sugar and the baking powder. Add the butter and, using your fingertips, rub the butter cubes into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Add the egg and cream and mix to combine the ingredients evenly and form a soft dough.
  2. In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, combine the blueberries, remaining 3⁄4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons flour, the orange zest, and the mace.
  3. Stir to coat the berries. Pour in the orange juice and set over medium- low heat. Bring the fruit to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2 minutes to thicken the mixture and cook the flour. Remove the skillet from the heat. Drop rounded tablespoons of the biscuit dough onto the fruit, leaving a little space in between. There should be 12 to 16 biscuits.
  4. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 16 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.

Quick Tip: If fresh blueberries are not available, use the frozen kind, but let them thaw before using (granted, the flavor will not be the same).
