Title: Berry cobbler
 Categories: Desserts, Usenet
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
    1/2 c  Sugar (for sprinkling)
      4 c  Berries (fresh or frozen)
      1 c  Sugar (for the batter)
      1 c  Flour, all-purpose
  1 1/2 t  Baking powder
    1/2 t  Salt
    1/2 c  Milk
    1/4 c  Butter (softened)
           Nutmeg
 
  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of sugar on the
  berries and place them in the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish.
  Combine the remaining dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder
  and salt).
  
  Add the milk and softened butter and beat well.  Spoon the batter
  over the berries.  Sprinkle some nutmeg on top.  Bake for about 45
  minutes.
  
  NOTES:
  
  *  Berry cobbler -- This recipe was lifted from _TV Guide's_ series of
  recipes from television stars. It is similar to the recipe for Berry
  Pudding found in Edna Staebler's "Food That Really Schmecks" cookbook.
  
  *  You can use pretty well any type of berry for the base.  A
  favourite of mine is a combination of strawberries, raspberries and
  blueberries.
  
  *  The base of this turns out to be a bit thin and liquidy.  If you
  strain the juice from the fruit, add a couple of tablespoons of flour
  to the juice, and then pour the juice over the fruit in the baking
  dish, the base will be semi-firm.
  
  *  You do not need to sprinkle the full 1/2 cup of sugar on the
  berries; with sweeter berries, much less will often suffice.
  
  *  If you would like a sweeter, candy-like batter, try adding more
  sugar to the batter.  I wouldn't recommend putting more than about 1
  1/4 cups of sugar into the batter, though, the crust of the batter
  will be very candy-like, but the centre of the batter will not
  properly bake if you do.
  
  : Difficulty:  easy.
  : Time:  10 minutes preparation, 45 minutes baking.
  : Precision:  approximate measurement OK.
