ingredients

Cranberries
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
Cobbler
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 9 Tbsp unsalted butter melted + more for the pan
  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F. Generously butter a 12-inch cast iron skillet.
  • In a small bowl, toss together the cranberries and 1/4 cup sugar. Set aside.*
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, milk, sugar, egg and vanilla. Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring to combine.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared cast iron skillet. Scatter the sugared cranberries over the top of the batter evenly.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature (surprisingly awesome at room temp by the way!).

notes

*If the sugar isn't sticking well enough to the cranberries, you can add a scant 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp of water or simple syrup to wet the berries. Make sure the water or simple syrup is cold.
