Step 2: Pre Heat Oven and Melt Butter
Preheat your oven to 350F. I keep a cast iron skillet in mine for a heat sink so it takes longer but cooks more consistently. Put the whole stick of butter in the 9 by 13 inch pan and stick it in the oven while it is preheating. Dont leave the pan and butter in the oven after the butter melts, youll burn the butter and make a mess.
Step 3: Mix the Base
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and milk together. No need to be fancy, a fork or whisk works well. This will create a soupy mix.

How long does it take to bake a cobbler?
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes. Brush the cobbler dough with the 1 tablespoon cream and sprinkle with the demerara sugar. Place the cobbler on a rimmed baking sheet to catch drips, or place aluminum foil beneath it in the oven. Bake until the topping is turning golden brown around the edges and the fruit filling is bubbling, 45 to 55 minutes.
How do you make a cobbler topping wet?
4. Overcrowding the topping. Completely covering the fruit filling with the cobbler topping will steam both the fruit and the bottom of the topping, making for a wet finished cobbler in the most unappealing way. Try this: Scoop the cobbler topping onto the fruit, leaving space between each portion of topping.
What should a cobbler be topped with?
Cobblers should be topped with a slightly sweet biscuit-like topping, although some regional variations include more cake-like toppings. Pie crust is fine when you’re making pie, but it’s decidedly not for cobbler making.
Can You bake a cobbler with just fruit?
You can bake a cobbler with just fruit as the filling, but a little sugar and cornstarch tossed with the fruit before baking will work together to create a lush sauce from the fruit’s juices. This is the thing that turns a good cobbler into a knock-out dessert. A cream biscuit is the easiest and fastest path from craving to cobbler satisfaction.
