My mom is the first to say she doesn’t like to bake. I’m still not sure where my love obsession came from. Somehow my sister picked up the habit too—proof. But despite my mom’s distaste for baking, she makes a mean cobbler. In the summers it’s filled with the ripest of peaches. And through the winters it’s filled with the blackest of blackberries. Always topped with ice cream of course. This tastes like home to me.

Home. Where I returned from just days ago. Already missing the people I have known for a lifetime. I still wonder why I ever moved away. And then I’m reminded of the greedy Texas* heat that steals winter’s thunder. The heat that also leaves me grumpy for weeks on end. I’m a winter girl at heart. I still melt with every snowfall. I love it’s quiet demeanor. And the beautiful way it paints the landscape white.

I love it’s whispering reminders to stop. And if you listen really close, it’ll tell you to make blackberry cobbler. To cuddle up on the couch with a warm mug. And just be. If only I could convince winter and home to exist in the same place. Until then, I’ll keep making cobbler.

As for the recipe, mom says just remember—a cup, a cup, a cup, a stick.

Blackberry Cobbler

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

1 stick butter (1/2 c.), salted
1 c. self rising flour
1 c. sugar
1. c. buttermilk
1 1/2–2 c. blackberries (or other fruit)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°. In an 8×8 inch baking dish, add butter and place in the oven until melted and slightly bubbling, not browned.
  2. Meanwhile, sift the flour and sugar together. Whisk in the buttermilk. Batter should be pourable. If too thick, add 1 teaspoon of buttermilk at a time.
  3. Once the butter is melted, remove from the oven, and immediately pour in batter. Edges will begin to cook. Generously add the fruit. Return to oven, and bake for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden.
  4. Serve warm with ice cream.

Notes

• If you don’t have self rising flour laying around (I rarely do) just add a heaping teaspoon of baking powder and a dash of salt.

    I want that whole thing. This is beautiful, Melissa!

    PS – everyone (including me) LOVES my cowl! You are awesome!

  2. Maria says:

    Blackberries are my favorite! Gorgeous post!

  3. Yes, Yes, Yes! I am drooling right now over the beauty of this cobbler! I just baked a batch of blackberry muffins but they are no longer tempting after looking at this beauty! Thank God for blackberries.

  4. Krissy says:

    Wow Melissa! What a great recipe to get from your mom! So simple, yet it looks so delicious. The pictures are wonderful too. I want to take a bite!
    I will no remember — a cup, a cup, a cup, a stick :)

  5. Kathryn says:

    It’s funny, my mother is not interested in baking at all either. I always think that is one of the reasons that I like it so much! A beautiful post.

  6. This looks great! My mom doesn’t like baking either. It’s weird, isn’t it? She actually hates baking. She doesn’t like the measuring, and yadda yadda. This is an easy recipe, which is awesome. Not much to remember and most of the ingredients already in the fridge/pantry :) welcome back!!

  7. This looks splendidly yummy! Awesome.

  8. Bev Weidner says:

    Hi. You’re, um…TALENTED. Would you mind sticking this cobbler into my mouth?

  9. Chef Pamela says:

    Beautiful photos! This is different than the cobblers here. I like the idea of filling the batter with fruit rather than topping the fruit with pastry as we do here.
    Yum!

  10. Lauren says:

    I want to eat this for breakfast…

  11. Deborah says:

    I love a good cobbler, and this looks amazing!

  12. You want to know something crazy? I’ve never made cobbler. Ever. And I never knew it was so simple. Tragedy!

  13. Katherine says:

    OH MAN this looks glorious. Hello blackberry bursts and melty ice cream. It’s been a while since I’ve had cobbler… my mom made it a lot growing up, too. Talk about comfort food.

    I love the simpleness of your cup, cup, cup, stick recipe but I’ve never used self rising flour before… could it be substituted with all purpose flour and something else?

  14. Beautiful! Your pictures are always so lovely.

    This looks great, but honestly…any recipe that calls for “a cup, a cup, a cup, a stick” has to be good! I can’t believe how easy this recipe is. What a stunner.

  15. lisa clawson says:

    This looks wonderful. I can’t wait to make it tonight. I love your writing style as well! Fun and simple, and clean. Way to go! It is so fun to meet new people through their blogs. Thanks for the great recipe:)

  16. Mike says:

    I’m from Texas and I can understand disliking the heat. Having worked out in extreme heat and frigid cold, I know you can almost always put on more clothes, but there’s only so many you can take off!

    That said, people who love snow are almost always those who never had to work out in it. If you like to ski, I can understand it, but at least you can go inside to warm up whenever you like. It would be all right to sit in front of a roaring fireplace looking out at the “winter wonderland” through a picture window while sipping on a nice glass of brandy, but I’ve never had that luxury. Take my word on it: frostbite ain’t much fun.

    Also,I’ve always dreaded getting those huge gas bills. I have some royalties from a few oil and gas wells – during the summer, they’re next-to-nothing and during the winter the checks are much larger, but sometimes they don’t cover my utility bill.

    Sorry for the rant – just one of my pet peeves. Found this post (a great one!)via my Foodgawker feed.

  17. I love the simplicity of this recipe and would easily enjoy it for a winter breakfast.

  18. beti says:

    this is so true, my mom also makes the best things ever, this cobbler simply looks amazing

  19. sara says:

    This looks amazing!! Love it – I can’t wait for blackberry season where I live! :)

  20. Bridget says:

    Such a simple recipe – I can’t wait to try it out with some peaches in the summer.

  21. Kasey says:

    My mother totally doesn’t care to bake. I think it’s because she’s always worried about eating too many sweets :) Cobbler is one of my favorite winter desserts…so versatile!

  22. Sarah says:

    The photos in this post are so lovely. Beautiful work.

  23. GregS says:

    Can you use frozen fruit in the recipe?

    • thefauxmartha says:

      I don’t see why not. You may want to coat the fruit in a tablespoon of flour before pouring it in. This will keep it from dropping straight to the bottom.

  24. I can’t wait until peach season to try this with fresh peaches! Beautiful post!

  25. Liren says:

    Just gorgeous, I love this! I find the simplest recipes to be the most beautiful! And funny, as I read about your mom, it reminded me that mine was the polar opposite. Hated to cook, loved to bake. But who could hate making this cobbler?

  26. Julie says:

    I love this recipe. It’s so easy! I add a teaspoon of vanilla to the batter for a little extra love. :)

  27. Stumbled across this page. Started pinning and ended up here. Love this. They are so cute in the little dishes! Bought some berries today! Think I’ll have to try this!

  28. Jennifer says:

    Looks delicious! Great photos.

  29. If your mom can bake a cobbler, she’s more of a baker than my mom! Looks delish.

  30. This looks beautiful, and I love the ease of the recipe! It’s the middle of peach season here in Australia, but I’m thinking of a best of both worlds scenario – blackberries AND peaches AND icecream of course!

    It’s SUCH a pleasure to meet your blog!

    Catherine @ The Spring

  31. Lorie Cunningham says:

    Yummy! saw this on pinterest. I will have to try it!!!

  32. Your description of all the mouth watering cobblers has me craving them. It looks scrumptious!

  33. that’s the real BlackBerry not the device…. :)

  34. Birthday NYC says:

    Ok, so I may have had oatmeal with delicious blackberries for breakfast, and also enjoyed some blackberries for lunch and dinner. And yes, I might be dreaming of summer weather and picking blackberries somewhere in the South near where I grew up, versus the cold wind and weather of NYC. However, all of my cravings for blackberries aside, first let me say that your pictures are perfect, and your recipe was extremely easy to follow. I actually read your blog a bit earlier, but got so excited about the prospect of making cobbler with my remaining blackberries that I forgot to post and say two words – THANK YOU! Now that I am eating cobbler with a cold glass of milk, I mean it even more. You are awesome, and this was a great post!

  35. Cathy says:

    I love anything with blackberries! This looks so yummyyyyy

  36. Averil Gomes says:

    What a simple, easy to bake recipe. Love the pictures too. A must try

  37. sameralkutta says:

  47. Diana says:

    Thank you for sharing. Easy & delicious!

  48. That pudding looks amazing! It’s making me hungry.

  49. Looks so nice! Any ideas on European measurements? Particularly the butter? I’m not sure how much a ‘stick’ is… thanks!

  50. foal rugs says:

    I love any type of berries. Yummeee :)

  51. Wahou it looks sooo yummy I’m starving i want one, the pictures are simply beautiful :)
    Thaïs

  52. Oh wow, this looks delicious! :)

  53. muymia says:

    WOW! Looks amazing! Ñam, ñam…

  54. It looks delicious …. should not we try it. It was tempting … so want to eat it.

  55. This looks amazing but I’ve never understood the cup measurement in all American recipies.

    How many grams in a cup? Or at least what kind of cup? A teacup, a mug?

    I will be massively grateful if you could illuminate this for me! :)

  56. Celeste says:

    Just in case there are other non USA people reading this (like me!) 1 stick of butter is half a cup :-) (just googled it because I didn’t know what a ‘stick of butter’ was!)

  57. BoJo Photo says:

    My goodness, looks delicious!!!!!!!!!

  58. This looks amazing – definitely following your blog! :)

  59. Hi! I really love your blog! the pictures are really lovely and easy and pleasant to look at. Have you made or ever considered making a cookbook? :)
    And i am sooo gonna try and make Blackberry Cobbler!
    Have a great day!

  60. Looks so good! If you like baking, I am doing a Project 12 on my blog…a different pound cake each month. I’m a Texas girl too, living in Houston but soon moving back home to Dallas (but I don’t like to be cold!). :) I’ll have to check out your baking periodically. [You can read: myownprivatemind.com, Project 12:1 - Buttermilk. I have at least one other person baking along with me!] All the best.

  61. lajf2012 says:

    Looks yummi…nice photos also :)

  62. I’m in love!!!! I’m totally drooling, too. That looks soooo delicious!

  63. Ooh, you didn’t. I love-love-love this desert. My grandmother made the best, and I love blackberries. I am definitely marked this recipe and make it maybe this weekend. And, man, I really don’t need it – it’s getting time to get back on the old diet. Thanks for the memories.
    Veronica

  64. Hope you don’t mind, but I had to paste this to my twitter account.
    Veronica

  65. I’ll definitely try to make this – looks great.

  66. madisoncary says:

    yum! and these photos are amazing!

  67. hadass420 says:

    Sweet! I might just want to try that! I think maybe blueberries will also work :-)

  68. Wbrown says:

    i love using fresh berries in the summer. Thanks for the recipe!

  69. Lavaguy says:

    I love a good cobbler recipe, and this one’s going in my files to try… I’m an ex-Texan too–that summer heat drove me away to the land of FOUR seasons (Philadelphia, in my case)!

  70. This is a beautiful post that left me wanting cobbler AND family! Something about ice cream melting over warm dessert invites memories of holidays and family lingering over the table. I’m going to get cooking…

  71. This looks really good and the photos are beautiful.

  72. epionelynx says:

    your writing is so beautiful and stimulating! i could actually taste the cobbler !! i am very fond of baking too :) thanks so much!

  73. sarahsjoys says:

    Looks beautiful and delicious! Congrats on being freshly pressed!

  74. Christina says:

    This is beautiful!! I am tempted to try this at home! Congrats on being freshly pressed :)

  75. punkimomma says:

    You’re like me, my mom hates to bake but I’m obsessed as well. I think its because my grandma would watch me during the summer and we’d bake almost daily.

    Anyway, it looks amazing I’m going to have to try it!

  76. annah40 says:

    This looks wonderful! I’m from Texas and totally get where you are coming from. No hate – just understanding.

  77. great!i love it…it looks really delicious!

  78. Thanks for the recipe. When the freezing rain stops and it warms up a bit I’ll buy some blackbereies and make a cobbler. I enjoy your blogging style.

  79. bitznbitez says:

    I’ve been missing cobbler for a while. Love the memory based recipie too!

  80. hermosausaadmin says:

    Love the easy guide to remembering the recipe your mom taught you! Any dessert that’s baked & delightful should always contain a whole stick of butter, otherwise I’m doubtful from the start! ^_^ Great post – it makes me want to find some blackberries this weekend to try this recipe! Looking forward to more recipes & checking your archives. Stay blessed ~Marianne ^_~.

  81. jubbiz says:

    Beautiful photos and writing! Love how the recipe is so easy — really want to make this now. First though, I need to discover the British equivalent to buttermilk…

  82. I know what I am making for dessert the next time it is my turn for the ‘special’ meal. thanks for the recipe.

  83. genkikitty says:

    Oh, this looks so tasty! Looks so easy to do too – thanks for the suggestion!

  84. Reading your text and looking at the photos made me miss home too :(
    Unlike your mom, my mother loves cooking, and I miss so much the smell of her just-baked cakes on rainy days, served with a cup of milk…

  85. cclpeng says:

    That is amazing! The pictures and the recipe. Will try this the next time I get the chance. I love baking too and yes, it does taste so much better than anything store bought. My favourite recipe right now is an italian apple cake :) ).

  86. Wesley says:

    You really can’t go wrong with cobbler topped with ice cream. Blackberry is one of my absolute favorites.

  87. This reminds me so much of growing up in Georgia. Of going in the woods past our yard to pick blackberries, then coming home and begging our mom to make us a cobbler. I can’t WAIT to go home and make one tonight :)

  88. midnitechef says:

    LOVE the name of your blog! I’m living in Texas but from the Great White North originally. I miss the crunch of snow.

  89. 4myskin says:

    The butter melts seperately? Intersting! I will have to try this! Cobbler is simply amazing!

  90. jamietuohy says:

    This looks absolutely sensational! :)

  93. Leah says:

    I wish I could eat this from the screen. It looks so simple and delicious!

  94. Delicious photos – must give it a go. Here a cobbler has a scone type mix topping, a batter must give a totally different eating experience. :)

  95. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful dish. I can taste the subtle crunchiness of the blackberries and the sweet creaminess of the ice cream. Connie

  96. After Taste says:

    Oh, wow. This sure does look amazing. Lovely to discover your blog also! :-)

  97. it loooks totally delicious <3

  98. pezcita says:

    You are making me wish it was blackberry season here! I will have to try this, looks much easier than baking a pie.

  99. trzyde says:

    Yeah, i want to eat something now :)

  100. Sue McB says:

    Congrats on being Freshly Pressed! Looks good, would love to try it, but please could you tell me how much a stick of butter weighs?

  101. theteachercooks says:

    Love the post. Recipe is so simple yet a great one.

  102. Cafe23 says:

    Omilord, that looks so damn good *drool*

  103. Kelly says:

    Love, love, LOVE this post! Your pics are gorgeous!! Have you had any training? Gorgeous!

  104. Rae says:

    It’s hard to go wrong with a recipe that has a stick of butter in it. Mm, butter.

  105. Si Tuong says:

    This looks lovely! Your blog makes me hungry :)

  106. klrs09 says:

    Okay, so, I live in Alberta where this past week it dipped to -37 degrees Celsius in my neck of the woods. I hate winter — the only time I like it is when the snow is softly falling on a night with a full moon and the temp is about -5 degrees Celsius. Which NEVER happens, so . . .

    Glad you enjoy your lovely memories of it.

    I printed off the recipe right away it sounded so good and just the thing we need during this cold spell.

    Congrats on being FP’d.

  107. I loved the cobbler. The old sifter and spoon were a nice touch to the photography. I love food blogs as long as the photography is good. I’ll be back!

  108. *droooools* Beautifully done. I can’t wait to try it. You can never go wrong with buuuuuutter.

  109. Hannah @ Eat, Drink and Save Money says:

    I’m with your mom, I don’t bake either! But this looks good. I might try it.

    Thanks!

  111. peggyhogan says:

    Yum! I love cobbler and have a different recipe. Love the idea of the buttermilk. Will definitely try this. Your blog is great and motivates me to write in mine again. Aaah, need more hours in the day for baking and blogging.

  112. Suri says:

    The cobbler looks very enticing indeed.. Lovely pictures!!

  113. Christina says:

    I enjoyed your post very much…even more so since I’m an east coast girl that’s moved to Texas and back again. And speaking of which, the landscape is turning white tonight. =)

  114. Looks delicious! :D I’ll definitely have to try this recipe!

  115. i always try and have a love affair with said blackberries at least twice a year ;) wonderful, wonderful…wonderful!!!

  116. I would tasteee to have one of these!!! :D DD

    Please! XXDDD

  117. graceyyyy says:

    WOW that looks uber delicious =O

  118. I love blackberries and this look amazing, I am not much of a baker but I am willing to learn!

  119. Oh, what I would give for some of that right now..

  120. joe185 says:

    You are merciless, making me scroll down past such beautiful pictures of blackberries, which I love, before telling me how to make the cobbler. We collected wild blackberries in New Jersey when I was young, but we just ate them as is. No one we knew used them to cook with. In college days I saw blackberry pies on sale in Oregon–an epiphany–but I never got to eat a piece of one until 15 years later! Your recipe is so simple. Thank you.

  121. amylu7 says:

    Looks amazing! Gorgeous photos too :)

  122. Thanks for sharing! I am a BIG fan of blackberries so I know I’m going to try it. I have never made cobbler, your recipe inspires me to try it.

  123. auntlolo says:

    My grandmother grew up in the south, and this was HER cobbler. It’s the only dessert I ever remember her making, and now it’s one of my favorites. Every summer, she would send us out to the Seattle Wilds around her house with a board and a bucket, to pick blackberries. We grumbled…but were secretly thrilled, because we knew it meant blackberry cobbler in February. If you let the butter brown, and then use brown sugar….it’s amazing. It makes toffee around the edges. Yum. Thanks for posting!! Your post is GORGEOUS.

  124. looks really great .. I’d like to make something like that ;) :) ))

  125. MargaretS says:

    This looks delicious. Blackberries are in the shops now it’s summer in Australia. I will make it but I have no idea what a ‘stick of butter’ is? Never seen this in Australian recipes? Can anyone help me?

  126. Sounds lovely! I have a tin of peaches in the kitchen I might surprise Jack this evening when he gets hone :) x

  127. Adrienne says:

    Such beautiful photography!

  128. Gorgeous photos! And I love the recipe, it’s so easy!

  129. Beautiful post! I remember growing up, we used to go pick blackberries, and my grandmother would make pies with them. They were so tasty! I love your post because it makes it seem so simple to make your cobbler. I’m not a pastry baking type girl, and it usually seems like something that is a bit intricate. Maybe I’ll make a blackberry (or another fruit) cobbler soon with your simple recipe. Thanks for posting this:-)

  130. [...] sources clockwise from top left: one, two, three, [...]

  131. Jbot says:

    OMG. This might actually be possible for me to make. I can’t get blackberries, but I might be able to make a blueberry version. Thank you thank you!

  132. bowtiqx says:

    Looks delicious…I’m going to make this recipe :)

  141. Becky says:

    The picture of your cobbler on Freshly Pressed said it all. I couldn’t help but click and check it out! I also roamed across older posts on your blog and have to say you have other great recipes that I’d love to try out! Your photography is a lovely match.

    My sister bakes a lot (from scratch too!) so this will really tempt her into trying out your recipes :)

    Have you heard of “Tasty Kitchen” from Pioneer Woman? You should maybe post your recipes there! You’ll probably get a lot of followers!

  150. SomerEmpress says:

    It’s official! I’m salivating for some blackberry cobbler! The photos look so enticing and delicious! Can’t wait to try it out!

  151. DCM says:

    Looks nice and warm to eat! Something I could use on this chilly day in Montana!

  152. very tasteful, delicious and easy to make cobbler! I skipped the butter to make it a bit healthier and substituted the self rising flour for oat flour and it was still to die for. Great job!

    Please check out my blog when you get a chance.

    BTW, great effect adding the tarnished silver spoon…Very nice touch!

  154. [...] also, this Blackberry Cobbler. It looks like it has the power to end wars. Maybe you should jump on that. Share [...]

  155. What a beautiful post. And the cobbler looks incredible! Thanks for providing the recipe, too. Have always heard about the “cuppa” recipe and have been anxious to try it. Tomorrow’s going to be the day, thanks to you. :)

  156. Mark Mathia says:

    You reminded me of spending time at my Grandparents house. Yum and great photo’s! Thanks for the memories.

  157. I love blackberries. As a kid, I remember walking in the woods and finding great masses of prickly blackberry bushes. I would come home all scratched up, but nothing beats the taste of a fresh picked, wild blackberry. I’m definately trying this recipe! Unfortunately, I will have to get the berries from the market, no blackberry thickets here that I know of …

  158. Looks very tasty. Reminds my grand mother’s clafoutis.

  159. My kids love cobbler, and the ones with May birthdays request blackberry cobbler instead of birthday cake. We pick the berries ourselves, which grow wild near our house. And that bright Texas sun helps them grow plump, fat and juicy. Yum!

  160. Wow! Your food photography is absolutely stunning. That one drip of juice is a symbol of the drool to surely slip from the corner of your readers’ mouths. Can’t wait to try this one!

  161. shirleyhsho says:

    Thank you for the recipe! It looks absolutely amazing and simply delicious.

  162. wow! I am envious with your passion! I am glad i found this!

    Very, very nice work, Melissa. Now I know why you were taking all those pics after Christmas in the kitchen bay window! Your passion for your work is incredible.

    BTW, your art admirer Rick Perry just called and expressed displeasure with your comments about the Lone Star state!

  171. Lovely post! The photos are making my stomach growl.

  172. This looks amazing! My mouth is watering :)

    new to this blogging lark and being a Chef I have to say this looks gorgeous!
    Not heard of a cobbler before, is it like a French clafoutis or totally different?

  176. [...] I was affected by this blog’s pretty description, specifically these sentences in this post: “I’m a winter girl at heart. I still melt with every snowfall. I love it’s [sic] [...]

  177. This looks you would not believe it delicious to me! Your baking skills amaze me!

    Your post got me thinking about the blackberries I had on hand and inspired me to get creative! I made Blackberry Vanilla Curd! Thanks for the inspiration! http://sarahsjoys.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/blackberry-vanilla-curd/

  179. Okay…so I finally got around to making this today. I made two, and took one to a neighbor. We just had our first serving…soooooo good! Thank you for sharing!!!

  180. Just looking at this and I gained 5 lbs. Looks delicious.
    Now I’m a heat person…love Arizona. My idea of snow is put a movie on and if I want to make it really authentic, turn down the AC.
    “Snow Dogs” is one of my favourite snowy movies.

    I meant to make this while at was at home, but never got around to it. If you want to lend me your oven, I’ll make one for you.

  183. Thank you for your post! I have a lot to share with your writing:
    I am a winter girl living in the South with difficult efforts, regretting the windy dumpy winters in Paris, who thought then? and I love the cold ultra ‘fresh’ ones of Stockholm (my husband’s country).
    Your cobbler would be perfect for the Swedish taste of a good dessert with a great coffee in a city cafe’ with candlelights on the tables and snow outside.
    Perfect winter cobbler, I too do not like baking, but this will be on my list next Sunday.

  184. I love your individual baking dishes. So cute!

  185. [...] looked so good I was almost willing to make an exception! (If you want to check it out it is at: http://thefauxmartha.com/2012/01/09/blackberry-cobbler/) I happened to have a bunch of fresh blackberries on hand but I started thinking of other fun ways [...]

  227. Dear Lord, thank you for this recipe :)

    I have a feeling that we have a similar relationship with food. I can’t wait to see more, especially with such beautifully written stories!

  228. Imperio says:

    Oh, this is so awesome and seemingly simple! I’ll definitely have to make it for my family this weekend. Do you think it works with any kind of fruit? or should I better stick with different types of berries only? Can I use frozen berries or should I thaw them first or should I use only fresh ones? I love to bake, or perhaps I love the idea of baking. As you can see from my questions I do not know much. Although I love to experiment. If I don’t hear from you, I’ll just wing it! :) If all goes well, you’ve made my 4 year old and my husband’s weekend. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.

  244. Blackberries are in season during the hot Louisiana summers – and they grow wild everywhere! We always picked buckets of them and my grandmother would make blackberry pie. Yummy! I can’t wait to try your mom’s cobbler. Thanks, and this southern girl loves winter, too.

  245. [...] Melissa’s Mom’s homemade cobbler. Melissa of The Faux Martha, first posted the recipe for her Mom’s Blackberry Cobbler a couple weeks ago and I have been dying to make it ever since! With just a few simple ingredients [...]

  246. I’ve been seeing this post on here for a few days now and every time I see it my stomach rumbles and aches for some of the cobbler, I only wish I could reach in and take some. My mum’s a good baker, I think I may have to pinch your recipe to give to her to bake one day.

  247. eron says:

    beautifully simple recipe, now I just need some fresh berries.
    re- Texas heat – I love Texas, but I don’t think I could ever live there because of the heat. I am near Sacramento, CA, and we routinely see 100+ during the summers, but as they say, it is a dry heat, not the sweltering humidity laced heat I have experienced while in Texas. That humidity that makes you feel like you need a shower, right after you dry off from the shower! And of course, it gets thicker as you go south. When I visit Houston, I feel I need an oxygen tank, as the air is so thick my lungs believe they are underwater.
    nw, to go find some berries. . .

    Love this recipe, its gorgeous. The serving is just right, i have to ask where did you find the ramekins/bowls? Presentation is so important for single servings and these are amazing!
    Thank you.

    • thefauxmartha says:

      My mom has had these cute little dishes since I was a little girl! There’s no telling where she got them. I wish I could find more for myself. Maybe Corning-ware has made something similar?

  260. Eunice says:

    For buttermilk, what kind of buttermilk do I use? I ended up buying a quart of buttermilk (liquid) in the milk section because I couldn’t find buttermilk in the butter section.

    What’s the difference between regular butter (salted) and buttermilk..? I made it with buttermilk liquid in the milk looking carton and it was WAY too buttery/greasy. Help!

    • Eva says:

      I made this the other day, and yes way to buttery.. it tasted good, but mussy on the top… not sure why any suggestions.
      Thanks

    • thefauxmartha says:

      Buttermilk is basically curdled milk. You can also make it by adding lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk. In the batter, you should use a cup of buttermilk. In the pan, you should use a stick of butter. It makes for a crispy buttery crust. My favorite part! But if it’s too buttery for your liking, you can use a bit less.

  264. Karen says:

    This is very similar to my southern cobbler recipe that I’ve been making most of my life. I have never tried buttermilk though and bet it adds a nice flavor so will have to try it next time.
