Cherry cobbler

An altered recipe from the mighty Dorie Greenspan.

6 cups pitted cherries

5 tbsp. light brown sugar

1.5 tbsp. cornstarch

Grated zest of 1 orange

2 tbsp. orange juice

30g butter cut into cubes

for the topping:

2 cups flour

1 tbsp. baking powder

4 tbsp. sugar

Pinch of salt

90g butter

½ cup cream

¼ cup sour cream

mix cherries, sugar, corn starch, orange zest and juice in a bowl. Divide into 8 individual ovenproof dishes. Sprinkle the butter cubes on top equally.

Dough- using your hands, work the butter into the dry ingredients, until you get a crumbly texture. Add both creams, and work the dough until well incorporated.

Roll the dough and cut out circles the same diameter of the dish. Bake for 45 minutes in an 180c oven.

Eat warm.

Eat with ice cream.

Eat happy.
