“The classic cobbler is ideal for entertaining as most of the work can be done several hours ahead,” says Walton. “You can use any seasonal fruit – a mix of berries or stone fruit would work well.”
Ingredients
Lemon curd cream
Method
Main
1.For lemon curd cream, whisk yolks, lemon juice and sugar in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water until thick and pale (4-5 minutes). Remove from heat then whisk in butter, a piece at a time, until thick and emulsified. Transfer to a clean bowl, refrigerate until well chilled, then whisk in cream and refrigerate until required.
2.Preheat oven to 180C. Sieve 230gm flour and baking powder into a bowl and set aside. Beat butter and 150gm caster sugar in an electric mixer until light and fluffy (4-5 minutes), scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Gradually add egg, beat to combine, then add 30gm flour mixture and beat to combine. Add buttermilk, then remaining flour mixture, beat until smooth and combined. Set aside.
3.Combine blueberries, rum, vanilla, 50gm caster sugar and remaining flour in a separate bowl, then spoon into a 1.75-litre ovenproof dish and dollop batter over berry mixture. Combine cinnamon and remaining caster sugar in a small bowl, scatter over cobbler and bake until golden and a skewer inserted into batter withdraws clean (35-40 minutes). Dust with icing sugar and serve warm with lemon curd cream and vanilla ice-cream.
