  • “I baked the cobbler this morning for tonight’s dessert, but I may have to make another one by then, I had to have a taste, the BH had to have a taste, and before we knew it, we had cobbler for breakfast and it’s half gone!Berries aren’t in season here, and I used frozen blueberries.I also used soymilk so the dessert wouldn’t be dairy.With a dash of vanilla thrown in this is a dessert worth handing down to deserving generations!”

  • “EXCELLENT, berries are not in season now so had to buy out-of-season berries, this was soo good I didn’t feel bad about spending extra bucks on it.Post away Doolittle, looking forward to more great recipes!”

  • “Excellant cobbler dolittle57!!It was a big hit, I cut the recipe to half, there were just 4 of us, also cut back on the sugar, we like our berries a little tart. Probably because I used a deeper dish, I had to cook it longer, about 20 minutes more.But no matter it was delicious! and will do it again.Thanks for sharing a good recipe.”

  • “My family really enjoyed this sweet, buttery cobbler.The cake portion was neither too dense nor too light.I did feel that the fruit was a bit soupy when I made this the first time so I reduced the water by 1/2 cup in my second attempt and was much happier with the results.I used frozen blueberries, and thus, had to add several minutes to my cooking time.Comfort food is what comes to mind when I think of this recipe.I can’t wait to try this with other types of berries.Thanks for posting your recipe!!!!!”

  • “This recipe caught my eye and am I ever glad.It was so good!Thank you so much!!!!! I will definitely make many more times.”

  • “Really tasty dessert, I used raspberries and cut back on the sugar.Served it with french vanilla ice cream and a little cream…yum!”

  • “I am the original poster of this recipe to this site. I was kicked off this site because I had an arguement with Mean Chef for the way he was treating people on this site. I wrote the administrators 2 times asking that my site name and recipes be removed, yet they did not do so, and from what I can tell they have copy righted my recipes. This was done without my knowledge or permission and I believe is illegal. I doubt this review will be posted.”

  • “This was a really good cobbler.I used mullberries from my tree so I reduced sugar on top by 1/2 cup and only used 2 cups boiling water.It turned out great!This will be my cobbler recipe from now on.”

  • “What a hit!Used frozen berries, 1/2 less sugar and 1 cup less water.Turned out really delicious.”

  • “This was absolutely the best cobbler I have ever made and so, so easy to make.I reduced the sugar and water by 1/4 cup and it was perfect!I used frozen blackberries and added about 5 to 8 minutes to the cooking time.I can’t wait to try it with other fruits.I will definitely be sharing this recipe with friends and family soon!”

  • “This was very good and easy to make.Everyone said that it was delicious and there wasn’t much left over. I used a 16 ounce package of frozen blueberries for this recipe and baked it about 35 minutes.The cobbler was served warm with a little vanilla ice cream.I’ve never made or tasted a cobbler before so I was surprised that all of the batter rose to the top and the fruit sank to the bottom – great trick!I will definitely make this again and might try peaches, apples (with a little cinnamon) or cherries next time.”

  • “FANTASTIC!! so glad I came across this recipe, now I see why it has been in your family, I used frozen raspberries and it came out really nice will be making this one alot. Great to make for family get togethers, YUM! YUM!. Thank you for posting it Dolittle57. “

  • “AWESOME!What more can I say?I used frozen blackberries that we had picked from our garden last summer, reduced the sugar to 1 cup & also reduced the boiling water to 2 cups.It came out golden & perfect–not too saucy, not too stiff.Can’t wait to try it with other berries/fruit!Thank you, Doolittle!-M :-)”

  • “This recipe is incredibly good and incredibly easy.My nine year old son actually made it with some supervision.We had it hot out of the oven with ice cream over it.I used a mix of frozen blueberries and blackberries.It was YUM!!!Thanks.”

  • “Yum”

  • “the taste of this cobbler is superb but the recipe calls for way more water than it needs and i was upset to discover that by following it, my cobbler was soupy in texture 🙁 i will definitely make it again and cut the water in half the next time. if not for this, i would have given it 5 stars- do yourselves a favor and CUT THE WATER IN HALF!”

  • “Perfect! Made this as the first desert for my new man and it is awesome!! I will add this to my family album- good for another 100 years!!”

  • “This was fantastic!!The only thing I did different was to use a little less water (1cup) since I was using frozen berries.Next time I will also cut down on the sugar because I do like things to be a little more tart:)”

  • “Yum! I used this recipe to use up the wild mulberries we have in our back yard. 1 and 1/2 cups sugar on to of the berries seemed like way too much. I only used 1/2 cup and it was perfectly sweetened.”

  • “This cobbler turned out beautiful, and sooo tasty. I used fresh blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.It wasn’t until after it came out of the oven that I realized I forgot the 1 1/2 c of sugar on the fruit.It was a little tart, just like I like it!My sweety thinks it should have the additional sugar.Next time I will probably make it with about half the sugar…I was really concerned about the amount of liquid, after pouring on the boiling water. I shouldn’t have worried, it was perfect.”
