Corn Cobbler Recipes

BLACKBERRY CORN COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees and grease the inside of a 9-by-9-inch square casserole dish with butter.
• In a medium bowl, toss the mashed blackberries with ⅔ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup flour, the lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon salt. Taste and add additional sugar, if necessary. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish in an even layer and set aside.
• Using a box grater, grate the corn over a bowl to collect its meat and milk; discard the corn cobs or reserve for another use. Transfer corn mixture to a liquid measuring cup. (The grated corn mixture should measure a healthy ¾ cup; if not, supplement with extra corn, heavy cream or milk.) Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1¼ cups flour, ⅓ cup granulated sugar with the cornmeal, baking powder and ¾ teaspoon salt. Add the cubed butter, separating the cubes and tossing them individually to coat. Pressing the bits of butter between your thumb and the side of your index finger, break up the butter into the flour until evenly dispersed and butter pieces are roughly the size of peas.
• Slowly pour the grated corn over the flour mixture, and, working gently with your hands, begin tossing everything together until the ingredients form a cohesive dough. Crumble the batter over the surface of the berries, and using a pastry brush, brush the top generously with the heavy cream. Sprinkle the batter evenly with the turbinado sugar.
• Place the baking dish on a sheet pan to catch any potential overflow, transfer to the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the blackberries are bubbling and thick, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before serving.

TOMATO, CORN, RICOTTA & PARMESAN COBBLER

Steps:

• Put the ricotta in a sieve lined with a piece of muslin, set over a bowl. Put in the fridge and leave to drain for a couple of hours - you want it to drain enough so it's no longer 'wet'.
• Put the flour, cornmeal, ½ tsp salt, baking powder, bicarb and sugar in a bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the dry ingredients, as if you were making pastry. Make a well in the centre, pour in the buttermilk and, using a knife, gradually mix together. You should end up with a soft dough. Crumble over the ricotta and mix into the dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and, using your hands, shape it into a rectangle, about 20 x 15cm. Fold the top third into the middle, then do the same with the bottom third. Press the mixture into a 20 x 15 rectangle again, and repeat the process two more times. You should end up with a dough that's about 2.5cm thick. Wrap and chill for 20 mins.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the tomatoes in a baking dish (about 20 x 30cm) with the corn kernels. Add the vinegar, some seasoning and 1½ tbsp oil, and toss to coat. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, and cook the onions until golden and soft, about 12 mins. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes more, then add the thyme and some seasoning. Spoon the onion mixture over the tomatoes and corn.
• Lay the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into rough circles or squares using a knife. Arrange the dough shapes over the veg, leaving some space between them. Sprinkle with the parmesan and bake for 45 mins until golden and bubbling (you should be able to see the tomatoes bubbling up from underneath the cobbler topping). Leave to cool a little - the tomatoes will be very hot when they come out of the oven - then serve.
