Cuppa Cuppa Cobbler

Cuppa Cuppa Cobbler

I adore CUPPA CUPPA recipes! They’re recipes that have equal parts of many of the ingredients. My mother-in-law’s coconut flan recipe is sort of a cuppa recipe. You use a can of condensed milk, and then use the can to measure out all the other ingredients. It’s so easy to commit these recipes to memory.  I also remember making the cuppa cuppa cuppa recipe that Truvy (Dolly Parton) recited in Steel Magnolias. Her recipe was just a cuppa sugar, a cuppa flour, and a cuppa fruit cocktail with the juice. This recipe I’m making today has a few more ingredients, but I think it produces a wonderful cobbler that people just love!

I’m not certain this is actually a true cobbler? I think it may be a more of a buckle, but the name sounds better when you call it a cobbler…. so please… nobody report me to the cobbler police! One thing’s for sure, the recipe is totally versatile! You can use just about any type of fruit in it! I’ve even used frozen fruit. Some variations I’ve made: strawberry, peach, donut peach, mixed berries, raspberry, plum, I’ve even made it with white chocolate and macadamia nuts! In this recipe I’m using the most wonderful cherries from Washington State. I also tend to swap out the flavor extracts that I add to this recipe. Sometimes I like vanilla, sometimes almond, or even something exotic like coconut! you should totally experiment with whatever you have fruit and extract wise!

Another trick that I love to use with this cobbler is Ina Garten’s faux crème anglaise. It’s so simple, you just let a pint of good vanilla ice cream melt overnight in the fridge. It’s so decadent! If that’s a little too rich for your blood you could also just top with cold heavy cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream or even a scoop of ice cream!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder

  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit, clean and dry I used cherries, but you can use anything you want!
  • .25 cup sugar this is to top the cobbler before baking

For serving:

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a shallow tart pan or a 9x13 pan.

  2. Melt butter over low heat or in the microwave.

This is a wonderful and versatile recipe that uses a “cuppa” flour, a “cuppa” sugar, a “cuppa” milk etc. I love that you can use just about any fruit you want in it too! It’s perfect for last minute guests or for a potluck!

    I believe what you’ve got here is called a clafouti, more or less.

      I think it’s very similar! This article is so cool talking about all the different fruit dessert distinctions: https://www.thespruceeats.com/berry-dessert-differences-305508

      I’m making my cuppa cuppa cobbler right now. I used dried cranberries but I let them simmer with a little water and sugar first. Then I added chopped walnuts and bout a third cuppa cocoa. Waiting on it to get done. Wish I had a little ice cream to go on top
      But I think it’ll be eaten around my house just like it is . I also used a lil vanilla flavoring.

    I will be making this today! If I where to use frozen berries would I need to thaw them first? Or toss them with a little flour?

      I have never thawed frozen fruit first, nor have I tossed with flour. I think you COULD do both, but the recipe is so flexible that I think it would accommodate anything you want! LMK how it turns out!
