I have discovered this delicious and super easy dessert using mulberries called a buckle. I can almost hear you asking "What is a buckle?" Here is the definition straight from Huffington Post. "A buckle layers a more traditional, cakey batter underneath the fruit.
As the dessert cooks, the cake rises around the fruit, which tries its
best to sink to the bottom, making the whole thing buckle inwards."
I adapted it from this recipe Lazy Day Cobbler and thought to try it out with my mulberries.
WOW! It is fantastic. It is really easy to make. I was worried as I was making it that it would be too sweet but it wasn’t. It great for an easy to make dessert. I had boobed and what I thought was cream in my pantry was actually full cream milk, so we had to eat it ‘naked’ and it still got the thumbs up. I am sure it would be fabulous accompanied with cream or ice cream. It is enough for 6 people. I am going to try to halve it as our youngest is leaving the nest in just 3 weeks (to live in Japan!)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornflour
2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 c light milk (1% fat)
1. Preheat oven to 180oC (350oF).
2. In a bowl, sprinkle the fruit with the 1/2 cup of sugar slightly mashing the fruit leaving some bigger pieces for bite. Stir in the cornflour and lemon juice.
3. Set aside whilst making the cobbler part.
4. In a bowl, mix together the flour, salt, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder and milk, with a fork.
5. Place melted butter in an 18cm x 28cm (7" x 11") slice tray.
6. Spread the batter in the dish directly over the butter.
7. Pour mulberry mix over the batter.
8. Bake for 50 minutes.
9.Let cool for 5 minutes before serving if you can wait that long.

When I was a child we had a mulberry tree. I have not had any for years. What a nice memory.
ReplyDeleteYou should try to find a tree at a nursery and plant a memory for your kids and grandkids or even just for your own pleasure and relive those memories! ;)
DeleteGreat recipe for the frozen mulberries I had from my tree last summer. It turned out excellent thanks!
