Skillet Berry Cobbler Recipe

  • 4 cups your choice of fresh berries (I used blackberries & raspberries)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a 10 inch cast iron skillet, toss together berries, sugar, 1/2 cup flour, cornstarch and salt. Smooth berry into an even layer.
  3. In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, add the 1 cup flour, oats, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add the butter and mix until texture is coarse clumps and mixture will hold together in clumps when you squeeze it with your hand.
  4. Spread topping evenly on top of berry mixture with your hand and press it down lightly.
  5. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!

U-Pick Tips & Tricks from TravelOK.com

Here are some tips and tricks for getting the most out of your u-pick experience in Oklahoma.

Keep cool and arrive early.

Many u-pick farms have early hours, and it’s best to get out when the Oklahoma sun is greeting you instead of at its peak in the middle of the day. The berries and fruit are freshest then, and you’ll also get first dibs for being an early bird.

Don’t forget your containers.

Bring a shallow container for picking so the weight of the berries on top won’t crush the ones on the bottom. Some places provide picking containers and take home bags, so call ahead to double check. If you’re driving quite a ways to get to a farm, a cooler will help your produce stay at its freshest on the ride home.

Come prepared.

The right attire is essential to remaining comfortable while picking berries. Don’t forget to wear long sleeves, pants and a hat. Bug spray and sunscreen are also good ideas as well as gardening gloves. Document your trip with a few snap shots on your digital camera too. Expert tip: Stretch out your back, legs and arms before picking to keep from cramping up while bending over.

Have a plan for your produce.

Read up on canning, making jam, freezing techniques or recipes for the produce you’re going to pick in order to get the most out of your produce while it’s at its peak.

Other general rules.

Follow the farms’ rules on where to pick, how much to pick and when. If u-pick is by appointment, be sure to call ahead. Most importantly, if you need help or have questions don’t be shy. The owners will be able to answer all of your questions on ripeness, growing seasons and so much more.
