Ingredients
Filling:
- 3 cups cranberries
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ginger
- 1 tsp orange zest
Topping:
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the cranberry filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and orange zest. Stir well to evenly coat the berries with the spices and sugar.
- Assemble the cobbler: Transfer the cranberry filling to a baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Make the topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined to form a batter.
- Top the filling: Dollop spoonfuls of the topping mixture over the cranberry filling, covering as much surface as possible without pressing down.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through and the cranberry filling is bubbling.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. For an extra special treat, serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Add diced apples or pears to the cranberry filling to soften the tartness and add natural sweetness.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast.
