Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your outdoor grill or oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a campfire, ensure you have a stable cooking surface with consistent medium-high heat.
- Take a 10-inch cast iron Dutch oven and grease the interior thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, flour, milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased Dutch oven, ensuring it covers the bottom completely.
- Gently scatter the fresh raspberries across the top of the batter. Do not stir, as the berries will naturally sink during cooking and create beautiful pockets of fruit.
- Cover the Dutch oven with its lid. If cooking in an oven, place the covered Dutch oven directly inside. If using a campfire or outdoor grill, place the Dutch oven on a grate with hot coals underneath and some coals on the lid for even heating.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Carefully remove the Dutch oven from heat using heat-resistant gloves or lid lifters. Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The cobbler can be scooped directly from the Dutch oven for a rustic presentation.
Tips
- • Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the most intense flavor and best texture • Don't overmix the batter - lumpy is good for a tender crumb • Ensure your Dutch oven is well-greased to prevent sticking • For a crispy top, place some coals or heat source on the lid during baking • Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to allow it to set • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence • If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter • Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean
