Cherry Sorta Cobbler {but who knows} on a Shoestring

Bean flour blends are not true all-purpose gluten-free flours. They will not behave the same as an all-purpose gluten-free flour.
Neither Pamela’s Baking Mix nor Pamela’s Bread Mix is an all-purpose gluten-free flour. Both are mixes for specific purposes, not for “all purposes,” as they contain many more things than just flours.
Yes, my love. You can definitely bake this in two separate dishes (I used a tart pan and a 9-inch square baking dish, and both turned out lovely). Just bake them one at a time in the center of the preheated oven, and for about 25 to 30 minutes each.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour (I use Better Batter)
• 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (omit if using Better Batter)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups milk, at room temperature (low-fat is fine, nonfat is not)
• 4 cups pitted cherries, preferably sour cherries
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose gluten-free flour

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease well with unsalted butter the bottom and sides of a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Set it aside.
In a large bowl, place the 1 1/2 cups flour, xanthan gum, 3/4 cup sugar, salt, baking powder and ground cinnamon, and whisk to combine well. Add the egg, butter, vanilla, and milk, mixing well after each addition. Continue mixing until the batter becomes thicker and a bit more elastic. Set the bowl aside.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the pitted cherries, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 1/2 tablespoons flour, and mix to combine.
Scatter the cherry mixture in the greased baking dish, taking care to distribute the cherries evenly. Pour the batter evenly over the top of the cherries, and shake gently to help distribute the batter evenly.
Place the baking dish in the center of the preheated oven, and bake until the batter is set, and beginning to brown on top, about 40 to 45 minutes, rotating once during baking.
Remove from the oven, and allow to cool about 10 minutes before sprinkling with powdered sugar and serving warm.
