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).

ANNIE'S SWEET POTATO COBBLER



ANNIE'S SWEET POTATO COBBLER image

This was my maternal grandmother's recipe, which has been passed down through the family for generations. It is a favorite of all who like sweet potatoes, and so different from the regular sweet potato pie or casserole served at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It may not be calorie free or fat free, but it is definitely delicious! ...

Provided by Marilyn Detwiler

Categories     Pies

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large peeled and sliced sweet potato, cooked in enough water to cover potato
milk (same amount as liquid that potato was cooked in)
1 large chunk of butter (approx. 1/2 stick)
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp nutmeg
DUMPLINGS FOR COBBLER
1 c plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp shortening or oil
1/2 tsp baking powder
milk enough to make a dough ball

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees farenheit. Cook: Boil sliced sweet potato in water until tender, but not mushy. Remove sliced potato from liquid and set aside. Reduce heat to low. Add: Same amount of milk as you have water from the cooked potato, to the potato broth. Add: Large chunk of butter and stir in water/milk broth until melted. Add: Sugar, vanilla and nutmeg and stir.
  • 2. While potato is cooking, prepare dumplings as follows: Mix: All dry ingredients for dumplings in a medium-sized bowl. Add: Shortening (or oil) and work into dry ingredients with a fork until mixed thoroughly. Add: Milk and work into dry ingredients until a dough ball is formed (add small amounts of milk as necessary). Roll out dough very thin onto floured surface. Cut dough into thin (approximately 1" wide) strips and break into 2-3" pieces, dropping pieces into hot broth.
  • 3. Remove broth from heat and return cooked potato to mixture. Pour into a deep casserole dish. Place a prepared pastry crust (such as Pillsbury Pie Crust that comes rolled up in a box in the refrigerated section of grocery store, or make your own) on top of the casserole dish and crimp edges to seal cobbler. Dot crust (or brush with melted) butter, and sprinkle with sugar. Cut 4-5 slits in top of crust with a knife to prevent cobbler from boiling over in oven, and to vent steam. Bake at 350 degrees farenheit until crust is brown (approximately 20 minutes). Delicious served hot or cold.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, firm sweet potatoes for the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and cube the sweet potatoes evenly so they cook evenly.
  • Add spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, to the sweet potato filling for extra flavor.
  • Use a combination of butter and flour to make a roux for the topping. This will help to thicken the sauce and give it a rich flavor.
  • Bake the cobbler until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato cobbler is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes, and it is also a perfect dish to serve for a special occasion.

This recipe is just one of many ways to make sweet potato cobbler. There are many other variations that you can try, such as adding different fruits, nuts, or spices to the filling. You can also make a gluten-free version of the cobbler by using gluten-free flour.
