Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add milk and egg, lightly beaten, all at once. Using a fork, stir just until moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing dough for 4 to 6 strokes or just until dough holds together. Continue as directed in Step 1.
In an effort to branch out from my usual cobbler, I tried this recipe this weekend, and it is delicious... warm from the oven with a bit of vanilla ice cream. Excellent and although it has a few steps, it's not difficult to make.
