Easy Camping Dutch Oven Berry Cobbler Recipe
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 50 min
Serves: 8
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

  • •4 tablespoons butter
  • •3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • •3/4 cup sugar
  • •1 teaspoon baking powder
  • •1/4 teaspoon salt
  • •3/4 cup milk
  • •2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • •1 package (16 oz) - defrosted or 2 cups fresh fruit frozen mixed berries
  • •1 tablespoon sugar

Equipment

  • • Cast Iron Camp Dutch Oven

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat a 12-inch standard depth camp Dutch oven to 350 degrees F, 25 total coals = 17 top / 8 bottom.
  2. 2Melt butter in pan. A 9-inch baking pan, like pie plates, work here or you can make this cobbler directly in the Dutch oven.
  3. 3In a medium sized bowl stir together the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt to make the batter.
  4. 4Now add the milk and vanilla to the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth.
  5. 5Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  6. 6Top batter by sprinkling defrosted berries and 1 tablespoon sugar evenly over the batter.
  7. 7Bake the cobbler 50-60 minutes until fruit is bubbly and batter browns. Turn oven and lid a quarter turn in opposite directions every 15 minutes for even baking.
  8. 8Let cobbler cool a bit before serving warm. It is also good if you want to add some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.

Camp tips

  • • Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
