ripe peaches or plums (peeled and cores removed) or berries such as blackberries
raspberries
cherries or blueberries
or a mixture
1 small orange
juice only
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
175g/6oz self-raising flour (white or wholemeal)
100g/3½oz unsalted butter
softened
25g/1oz porridge oats
50g/1¾oz soft brown sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon or mixed spice
4 tbsp yoghurt (natural or flavoured)
Directions
Adults job: preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Kid’s job: Chop the fruit into chunks. Don’t worry about the size being perfect
it is good to have a variety of chunks! (An adult should supervise this.)
Kid’s job: Place the fruit into an ovenproof dish and pour over the orange juice and the brown sugar.
Kid’s job: Place the flour into a mixing bowl and chop the butter into small lumps. They can then rub in the butter roughly using their fingertips. This doesn’t have to be perfect
a few lumps are fine.
Kid’s job: Stir in the oats
sugar and spices to the cobbler mix and stir it through with a spoon or your hands.
Kid’s job: Add the yoghurt one spoonful at a time. You may need to mix with your hands to form a rough dough.
Kid’s job: Form the cobbler mix into small balls
about the size of a ping pong ball and arrange them over the top of the fruit.
Adult’s job: Place in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the cobbler is golden-brown on top with the fruit bubbling up around the edges. Leave to cool before serving as the fruit filling will be very hot. Serve warm with ice cream
