Equipment
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Pastry Blender or Two Knives
- Small Mixing Bowl
- 9½ inch Square Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 2 cups Organic Flour
- 1 tsp Real Salt
- 1⅓ cup Organic Butter, room temperature Vegan: Earth Balance Organic Whipped Buttery Spread
- 16 ounces Organic Mixed Berries, Frozen or Fresh
- ½ cup Organic Sugar
- 4 tbsp Ice Water
- Organic Cardamom
- Organic Nutmeg
Instructions
- Evenly mix flour and salt into the bowl.
- Remove about ¼ of the mixture and set aside.
- With pastry blender, your fingers or two knives, roughly cut in 1 cup of softened butter.
- Place the bowl with the mixture into the freezer for at least one hour or more.
- Remove bowl and allow to sit for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Butter 9½ inch baking dish making sure the corners are lubricated.
- Make a paste of the ¼ cup of flour and some of the ice water.
- Sprinkle the paste over the flour/butter mixture.
- Quickly blend together using a fork or your hands until flour is moistened and can be pressed into a ball. Add more ice water if necessary. Over mixing can lead to pastry being tough.
- Roll out on lightly floured surface to ⅛ thickness. (You can press the bottom crust directly into the baking dish.)
- Add room temperature berries, sugar and ⅓ cup butter cut into small pieces.
- Sprinkle with cardamom and nutmeg.
- Cover with top crust or create a lattice design by cutting dough into strips with a knife. If covering completley with crust, using a sharp knife, cut at least three slits into the center of the dough so that the pie can breathe.
- Sprinkle a little sugar on top of the cobbler and bake for approximately 35 minutes.
- Allow to cool and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
