Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups self-rising cake flour
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup buttermilk, milk or heavy cream
3 pounds fresh apricots, rinsed, halved, pitted and sliced
1 1/2 pounds fresh cherries, sour if possible, rinsed and pitted
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Buttermilk and sugar for finishing

Steps:

  • For the dough, place flour in a bowl and rub in butter until fine and mealy. Do not allow
  • to become pasty. Stir in the buttermilk, adding more, one tablespoon at a time, if necessary.
  • Press dough together on a floured surface, wrap and allow to rest while preparing filling.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and set a rack in the middle level. For filling combine apricots and cherries in a bowl and toss with sugar. Pour into a large gratin dish or 4 to 6 individual dishes. Dot with butter and sprinkle evenly with the almond extract.
  • Divide the dough into the same number of pieces as the dishes. Press the dough out on a floured surface until roughly the size of the baking dish. Lift dough onto filling using a thin, flexible cookie sheet, and cut several vent holes in top. Brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake the cobblers about 20 minutes, until crust is well colored and filling is bubbling. Cool slightly
  • on a rack and serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
