Description

This Soft Crust Red Cherry Cobbler starts with a thin buttery batter that magically transforms into the softest top crust ever, and under the crust is a sea of luscious cherries. 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 cups fresh red tart cherries, or one 12-ounce bag frozen, not thawed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the cherries and 3/4 cup of the sugar and set aside.
  3. Place the butter in an 8 x8 or 9 x 9 baking dish and place the dish in the preheated oven until the butter melts and remove.
  4. Meantime in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and remaining  1/4 cup sugar.  Add the milk and vanilla and mix to combine.
  5. Pour the batter over the melted butter but do not stir.
  6. Spoon the cherries evenly over the batter but do not stir.
