Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Julia - 39th Installment. The recipe is Johnny Cake Cobblers.
Super easy and very tasty! I made this with regular yellow cornmeal (didn't have a local source of Johnny Cake meal, although living in Massachusetts, I know I have seen it somewhere or other around here, since it is from Rhode Island....). I added the optional grated ginger to the biscuit topping, which was great. I did the big dish variation, since I had a crowd to feed. Everyone loved it. We were staying in a vacation cottage, and this was easy to make, even with the patchwork of kitchen gear in the cottage.

| Plums, nectarines, peaches - before cooking |
I had some plums and nectarines that were not very ripe (and not even local - boo hoo!), and some local peaches that were perfectly ripe. The cooking on the stove turned them into a nice texture before baking. I served it with ginger ice cream, which was wonderful with the ginger cobbler topping. We even ate some for breakfast (of course, with the ice cream - it was vacation after all :-)

Breakfast of champions!! I see nothing bad about that! :) And really, it is like a cereal with fruit. That would be a nice treat for the summer.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of dessert for breakfast! Especially if it involves fruit. As I type this, I'm savoring one of the last lemon bars. Hey, we have all day to burn it off, don't we? Have a fabulous vacation!
ReplyDeleteThe pairing with ginger ice cream sounds interesting. Something to try. Great job.
ReplyDeleteI love vacation: everything is permitted :-)
ReplyDeleteCobbler for breakfast: the perfect start and with all the beautiful fruits you have chosen, it must have been delicios indeed.
Happily, I can confirm that this was delicious.
