Sourdough Quick Cherry Cobbler (gluten free, dairy free)
Looking for a great use for your sourdough discard? This cobbler is fast, simple and delicious!
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. butter or ghee
- 3-4 cups pitted dark, red cherries
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp. arrowroot
Topping
- 1 1/2 cups active, fed sourdough starter
- 3 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 3 Tbsp. melted coconut oil, palm shortening or ghee
Instructions
- Wash, stem and pit cherries.
- To a large cast iron or other oven proof skillet, add ghee, cherries, almond extract and maple syrup. Bring to a simmer and cook until cherries begin to soften, 10-15 minutes.
- Remove a little of the cherry juice - about 1/4 cup - place that in a little bowl and add the arrowroot to it. Mix well and add back into the bubbling cherry mixture. Stir that in well, then remove from the heat.
- While cherries are cooking, prepare the topping by simply mixing the sourdough starter, beaten eggs, maple syrup, baking powder and melted coconut oil together.
- Pour this mixture over the top of the cherries.
- Bake at 400 degress for 15 minutes or until cherries are bubbling and topping is set.
- Serve warm. A little vanilla ice cream on top wouldn't hurt.
