I live in Michigan and we have sour cherry grown in abundance. I went to whole foods the other day and i saw mounds of these grown by local farmers.. so i went ahead and got lots of them to snack on and make this cobbler. To be honest i was not a great fan of pitting them tho.. that was a royal pain..
For the cobbler you need:
Ingredients
Cherry Part:
Cherry - 2 cups
Sugar - 3/4 cup
All purpose flour - 1 tbls
Cardamom Powder - 1 tsp. (optional..i love cardamom)
Cobbler Part? :
All purpose flour - 1 cup
Unsalted butter - 1/4 cup
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Sugar - 1 cup (this event is sugar high fridays right ;)
Milk - 8 oz (i used 1% organic milk)- can sub with soy too
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Melt the butter in a pan. Add in flour,baking powder,sugar, milk and whisk to a smooth batter.
3. Mix the cherries,sugar,flour and cardamom powder lightly.
4. Pour the batter in 4 individual serving dishes (i used mini loaf pans - actually they were not too mini!), and spooned the cherries on top.
5. Bake for 50 minutes and when it cools down serve it with ice-cream if you want to go nuts!

I too have same questions as coffee! The cake looks so Yum!!!And no eggs is what I like most!
latha - please go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobbler_(food) and it gives info on cobblers. I do not eat eggs so i modify every recipe i get to make sure there is none of that stuff!! i should probably call it eggs ..he he
Rajitha, Cherry cobbler looks wonderful, love the color.I have posted a Mango Cobbler at Foodie's Hope, I love cobblers:))
looks yum! i'm thinking peach, would like to try it sometime! hv u, by any chance combined peach n' cardamom?
This one is an absolute beauty....
to avoid pitting them - add them in seeds and all, then bake your cobbler, take it, sit in your bathtub, and have a seed spitting competition. the one who spits it farthest wins. yeah, we're lazy.
asha - thnx.. i love cobblers too, i should chk out the mango one..
richa- it is yum! he he i really have not tried peach and cardamom, but i think it will go well together...even cinnamon will..just give it a try and lemme know :)
bhags- thanks dearie
bee- okay! first of all eating in the bathroom .. the thought is making me nauseous! secondly, in the end i will be the one picking up those darn pits, as my husband will do a half-assed job of cleaning up...
Oh yum!
I nearly made a cobbler today, instead I mad a oat crumble. I went blackberry(ing) picking today, and have just finished making a blackberry and apple crumble.
I still have a lot of damson so may be a cobbler..........
Bee! I just pictured you and J in the bath spitting stones at each other. hehehehe
saju- i was thinking of making oat crumble, but settled on the cobbler..

Hi,
this cobbler looks nice, and my doubts are cleared by previous comments:) got to try this one some day!
Love that cardamom bit. Was looking for a pic of a single slice. Rajitha, I like all yr recipes.
mansi - sure.. try it out. it is easy!
suganya - well the inside is all gooey.. i wanted to take a shot but my camera was super low on battery! my new motto is to keep that damn thing charged all the time. thanks for your sweet comment suganya..i like all ur recipes too (waay to mushy huh!)
what a great idea to add cardamom... it's a recent discovery for me, but i really like it. if only i could find sour cherries here, i haven't had them in ages!
johanna - i am in love with that spice! i add it to yogurt when i make fruit parfaits too...
This cobbler is just fantastic! This is just enough to keep me busy in the kitchen, again. I am planning to try this on my kid's birthday next month. Cherry sounds so tasty.
