CAJUN FRUIT COBBLER



Cajun Fruit Cobbler image

This is one of the old country recipes from the Cajun heritage. Frances Thibodeaux from Scott, La. has used this recipe for many years. I love it because it reminds me of the berry picking days of my youth. The reward was a homemade cobbler with the fruit we had picked that day. I have looked for many years to find THIS recipe. It taste like the cobblers of my childhood days. My search is over and this one is in my favorite file. During the baking process, the batter rolls over and you end up with a sugar glazed crust. Enjoy!

Mamma K's Fig Preserve Cobbler image

I love fig preserves from my tree, but I haven't run across a lot of recipes for using the preserves on this website. So I am submitting one of my family's favorites. This one is quick and easy, yet so yummy. You can substitute any fruit preserves or jam or fresh fruits boiled down in sugar to make a syrup base. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

CAJUN SWEET DOUGH

Down in Louisiana this dough is used to make what we call Cajun Sweet Dough. The traditional filling is fig and it is made into turnovers, but it can also be used as pie crust, although it is not as flaky. It is supreme as turnover dough, for ANY kind of filling.

Time 15m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
1 (12.5 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 egg white (for egg wash)

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the butter, then add the sugar a little at a time. Add the vanilla. Beat the mixture until it is nice and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Stir in the flour mixture alternately with the milk.
  • Before you use this dough, be sure you chill it well at least 2 hours or even overnight.
  • To make turnovers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 3 inch squares. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the pie filling into the center of each square and fold over to form a triangle. Pinch the seams to seal or press with the tines of a fork. Place at least 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Brush with egg white.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the tops and bottom.
