Sweet Potato Cobbler Recipe

Description

This Sweet Potato Cobbler recipe is a delightful Southern comfort food, straight from the kitchens of the wonderful restaurant Sabine in Houston. 🍠 It’s a perfect blend of sweet, spiced flavors that will warm your heart and soul. To take it to the next level, pair it with homemade cinnamon ice cream—simply soften vanilla ice cream and mix in some cinnamon before refreezing. Absolutely divine, especially when enjoyed with a glass of cream sherry! 🍨🥃

Ingredients

Ingredients Quantities
Butter 10 tbsp
All-Purpose Flour 1 cup
Baking Powder 1 tsp
Sugar 2 cups
Ground Cinnamon 1 1/2 tsp
Ground Nutmeg 1/2 tsp
Ground Cloves 1/2 tsp
Buttermilk 1 cup
Sweet Potatoes 4 cups, mashed
Cinnamon Ice Cream Optional
Fresh Blueberries Optional
Raspberries Optional
Caramel Sauce Optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 🌡️

  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Butter a 9x13x2 inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter. This ensures your cobbler won’t stick! 🧈

  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of butter with the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. This creates a fragrant, spiced mixture that will flavor the cobbler beautifully! 🥣

  4. Add Buttermilk: Slowly pour in the buttermilk while stirring. Continue mixing until you have a smooth batter.

  5. Layer Sweet Potatoes: Spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. 🍠

  6. Bake Until Set: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cobbler is set. You can check by inserting a knife—it should come out clean, though the cobbler will still be moist. 😋

  7. Cool and Chill: Allow the cobbler to cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour. This helps the flavors meld together for an even tastier treat! ❄️

  8. Serve: When you’re ready to indulge, reheat individual squares in the microwave. Top each square with a generous scoop of cinnamon ice cream for a creamy contrast. Drizzle with caramel sauce for extra sweetness and garnish with fresh berries—blueberries and raspberries work beautifully! 🍨🫐

Notes & Tips

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the cobbler ahead of time and simply reheat when ready to serve. It’s a convenient option for entertaining!

  • Ice Cream Alternative: If you prefer, you can serve this cobbler with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead of cinnamon ice cream. 🍦

  • Fresh Berries: The addition of fresh berries not only adds a burst of color but also a refreshing contrast to the rich sweetness of the cobbler. Feel free to mix and match with your favorite berries or use what’s in season! 🍓

  • Storage: Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.

This Sweet Potato Cobbler is a true crowd-pleaser, perfect for holidays like Thanksgiving or any gathering where you want to impress with a taste of Southern hospitality. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors and the joy it brings to your table! 🥧✨
