spiced berry cobbler
I love this pud, the scone topping makes nice change from crumble or pastry & the spices are lovely & warming. A fantastic dessert for a cold day! Serve with custard or ice cream. I used Basics/Value frozen berries & there is no need to defrost them.

30g melted butter

Mix to coat the berries & then transfer to a buttered ovenproof dish.
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/Fan 170/Gas 5.
To make the topping sieve the flour into a mixing bowl, add the sugar & a pinch of salt.
Beat in the melted butter & yoghurt to make a smooth batter.
Spoon the mixture over the berries don't worry if there are gaps because the fruit will bubble up anyway!
