Last weekend we picked up some berries from the Amish Farmer’s Market. I had the intention of making berry cobbler with them and then on a whim, decided to go gluten free. I frantically searched the internet for a quick and easy recipe last night as these berries needed to be used ASAP. Found one and off to the grocery store I went. It was YUMMY! If I hadn’t made it, I wouldn’t have guessed it was GF!

Quick and Easy Gluten Free Berry Cobbler
Adapted from About.com

Preheat the oven to 350. Grease an 8×8 pan and put the berries in, set aside.

Filling
4 Cups of Berries (I didn’t measure, just used what we had)
3/4 Cup of Sugar
3 tbsp Tapioca
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 Cup Water
1 tbsp lemon juice

Whisk the sugar, tapioca and cinnamon in a small saucepan.  Add the water and lemon juice and bring to a boil over med-high heat. When bubbly and thick, pour over the berries. We added a little more tapioca than called for.

Topping
1 Cup of gluten free flour blend (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
2 tbsp of sugar
1-1/2 tsp of baking powder (gluten free)
1/4 tsp salt (we use sea salt around here)
2 tbsp of butter
1/2 Cup of milk (regular 1%)

Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter. Pour in the milk and mix with a hand mixer. My batter never got really thick and clingy like the original recipe stated. Pour over the berry filling mixture and pop into the oven.  In about 35-40 minutes, remove and let cool before enjoying.
