Ingredients

For the Dry Mix

  • 8 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons baking soda
  • 1 Tablespoon sea salt

For the Cobbler

  • 3-6 cups fruit use more or less based on your preference (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • sugar for sweetening fruit (optional)
  • 2/3 cup butter melted
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Instructions

For the Dry Mix

  • Add all dry ingredients into a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Have five clean quart-sized mason jars ready for the mix, then scoop 2 1/3 cups mix into each jar.
  • Seal with a lid and set on your pantry shelf until ready to use.

For the Cobbler

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Pour half of the melted butter into the bottom of a casserole dish.
  • If you're going to sweeten your fruit, sprinkle the desired amount of sugar over your fruit, stir, and let sit for a few minutes.
  • Add fruit to the casserole dish, including any juices.
  • Dump premade cobbler mix into a bowl and add optional cinnamon, whisk to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla and pour over the dry cobbler mix.
  • Stir until it's the consistency of a thick cake (or brownie) batter.
  • Spoon batter over the fruit, don't worry if the mix doesn't cover all of the fruit.
  • Drizzle the remaining butter over the top of the cobbler batter.
  • Place the cobbler in a 350° F oven and bake for 30 minutes until the cobbler is set and the fruit is hot and bubbly.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of heavy cream.

Notes

  • This recipe makes five dry cobbler mixes. The ingredients listed to make the cobbler are for one individual cobbler. The nutrition facts have been calculated for 1/8 of a cobbler. 
  • Add milk slowly to the dry cobbler mix, you don't want your batter too runny. If the mixture is too thick you can add more milk, but you want the batter the consistency of a thick cake or brownie batter. 
  • Since this recipe is going to sit on a pantry shelf, we're using all-purpose flour. If you want to make the cobbler right away, feel free to use your preferred flour.
