Sour Cream Dough Fruit Cobbler
Dough
1 2/3 c all purpose flour
1/3 c packed light brown sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp table salt
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 10 pieces
2 Flavorings (Choose from the following):
1/2 tsp lemon zest
3/4 tsp orange zest
1/4 c cornmeal
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c chopped and toasted almonds, pecans, walnuts, pistachios, or hazelnuts.
3/4 c sour cream chilled
Fruit Filling
8 cups of fruit ( you can choose up to three of the following):
apricots, blackberries, peaches, nectarines, plums, raspberries, or strawberries
1/2 c to 3/4 c sugar (depending on how ripe fruit is)
1 Tbsp flour (use 2 Tbsp if you are using berries)
1 or 2 filling flavorings (choose from the following):
1 1/4 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp orange zest
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp fresh minced ginger
1/4 tsp pure almond extract
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 Tbsp lemon juice
After choosing the fruit you are using, clean and cut it, then place it in a large bowl. Add sugar, flour, lemon juice, and choice of filling flavoring(s). Mix together and place into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Make dough.
Preheat oven to 350
In a food processor place the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; pulse for 10 seconds to combine ingredients. Add butter and pulse until dough looks like small peas. Transfer to a bowl and add your choice of flavorings. Add sour cream and with a spatula combine until dough sticks together. Use your hands if need be. Place dumplings onto the top of fruit. I try to make 12 out of the dough so that everyone gets their own dumpling.
Bake in the oven for 50 to 60 min. Let stand for 20 min so that the juices settle and serve. This can be enjoyed warm or hot with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
