Cobbler is a dessert comprising a dough-like batter and fruit. The fruit is usually combined with other ingredients such as sugar and flavorings and then topped with a batter before baking. In the maritime provinces of Canada, cobbler is otherwise known as grunts or slumps and cooked in a cast-iron skillet on top of the stove. The term grunt comes from the noise they supposedly make while cooking. The American version of a cobbler is known as the Betty and is made by alternating bread crumbs and fruit.
Chocolate Raspberry Cobbler
For Valentine's Day, you may look for something simple to make for your loved one.This recipe is ideal, especially since it is quick and easy to prepare. You can choose to push the raspberry mixture through a sieve to omit the raspberry seeds, but honestly, no one has ever complained. I will often keep raspberry seeds in certain recipes that call for their removal. A scoop of vanilla ice cream pairs very well with the tartness of the raspberries. You can swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark if you want a more intense chocolate-tasting dessert.

Plum Raspberry Cobbler
I can't be the only one who goes shopping with just a few items in mind and then ends up having a full cart. Or, I come home with only half the groceries I had planned to purchase because I forgot to bring my list. I went to the store for blueberries intending to make a blueberry and raspberry cobbler, but unfortunately, that was one item I forgot to purchase. Thankfully, I had a bunch of plums that were just on the verge of becoming too soft, so I made this fabulous plum and raspberry cobbler.

- In a separate bowl, sift one and one-half cups of Bisquick, one-half cup of cornmeal, one-quarter cup of granulated sugar, and one tablespoon of lemon zest.
- Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in six tablespoons of cold, cubed butter until crumbly.
- Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and stir until a dough forms.
- Remove the filling from the oven.
- Using a tablespoon, drop the dough onto the filling in evenly spaced mounds.
- Sprinkle the dough with the remaining one tablespoon of granulated sugar.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for thirty minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for thirty minutes before serving.
