SWEET-POTATO COBBLER



Sweet-Potato Cobbler image

This Sweet-Potato Cobbler recipe was common at Juneteenth celebrations years ago but is now seldom seen.

Provided by Nathan Jean Whitaker Sanders

Categories     Dairy     Dessert     Bake     Christmas     Thanksgiving     Sweet Potato/Yam     Fall     Summer     Winter     Gourmet     Juneteenth

Yield Makes 8 to 10 (dessert) servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For filling
2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
1 quart water
3/4 cup canned pure cane syrup
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For biscuit dough
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/4 cups whole milk
Accompaniment: vanilla ice cream
Special Equipment
a 3 1/2- to 4-quart well-seasoned cast-iron Dutch oven or other heavy pot (10 inches in diameter)

Steps:

  • Make filling:
  • Peel sweet potatoes, then halve lengthwise and slice crosswise 1/4 inch thick. Combine potatoes with remaining filling ingredients in a wide 4- to 5-quart pot and simmer, covered, until potatoes are almost tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer potatoes with a slotted spoon to a bowl and boil liquid, uncovered, until reduced to about 2 cups (it will become syrupy), 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Make dough and bake cobbler:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. 3Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in milk with a fork until a dough forms.
  • Gather dough into a ball, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 7 or 8 times. Divide dough into 2 pieces, then form each into a disk.
  • Roll out 1 disk with a floured rolling pin into a 14-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick) and fit into bottom and about halfway up side of Dutch oven, pressing against side to help it adhere.
  • Roll out remaining dough into another 14-inch round, then trim to a 12-inch round with a paring knife, reserving trimmings.
  • Spoon half of sweet potatoes evenly into dough-lined Dutch oven, then top with 1 layer dough trimmings, cutting and fitting trimmings to almost cover potatoes. Add remaining potatoes, then pour syrup over potatoes and cover with 12-inch dough round, pressing edges together to seal. Cut 3 steam vents in top with paring knife.
  • Bake cobbler until top is golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool to warm before serving, about 30 minutes (dough will absorb most of syrup).

Tips:

  • For a crispy cobbler topping, use a combination of all-purpose flour and rolled oats.
  • Add a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potato filling for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes, as they should still have a slight bite to them.
  • Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • If you don't have a baking dish, you can also make this cobbler in a cast-iron skillet.

Conclusion:

Easy Sweet Potato Cobbler is a delicious and comforting dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of sweet potatoes, spices, and a crispy oat topping, this cobbler is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
