A basic cherry cobbler is fruit tossed with sugar and baked under a batter, pastry, or biscuit crust.This cobbler adds some nuance with spices and citrus zest. It is delicious, and easy to make!
The butter is what makes the cobbler nice and juicy. And the fat also carries flavor.If you want a less juicy cobbler, toss the fruit with a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch.
Mix all the batter ingredients together and pour over the fruit. As the cobbler bakes, the batter will flow down and mix with the fruit. It's such a comforting dessert!
You'll know your cobbler is done when it is deeply golden brown on top and around the sides (easy to see if you use a glass dish).
Any fruit peeking through the batter will be bubbling.
