UNDERWOOD'S CAFETERIA CHERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Crust: Combine shortening and flour in a bowl and mix well. Add salt and enough cold water to make ingredients cling together. Roll the dough until it is very thin. Cut up butter and place in a 9 x 13 inch pan. Filling: Combine in bowl the sugar, salt and flour. Mix well. Add the cherries, water and food coloring. Mix well and pour over butter in pan. Top with rolled out crust. Bake at 350 degrees F until brown. A little less than an hour. cook's notes This came from a family cookbook. It was originally from a wonderful Texas-based cafeteria specializing in delicious slow-smoked barbecued steak. There were Underwood's all over Texas back in the day, but today the only remaining cafeteria is the original, which is in Brownwood, south of Abilene. The Underwood's Cafeteria always had blueberry alongside the cherry cobbler. I have not tried it but would assume the recipe is the same but with blueberries instead of the cherries.

OLD-FASHIONED BLACK CHERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In mixing bowl, combine cherries, flour and sugar; toss to coat evenly.
• Place in 8" square pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly.
• Meanwhile, sift flour into bowl; add baking powder, soda, and salt; and cut in chilled butter with pastry blender or 2 knives. When pea-sized texture, add buttermilk -all at once- stir just to blend.
• DO NOT OVERMIX; dough will be tough.
• When cherries are finished baking, remove from oven, drop dough by large spoonsful over cherries, and sprinkle lightly with granulated sugar.
• Return to oven for 25-30 minutes or until topping is done and golden brown.
• Serve hot or cool with whipped cream.
