First
up a big tick to the Waitrose
test kitchen. I've only one small grumble – they don't give you
any help with the size of, using their word, “dollop”
-
to me the word implies “large” and indeed the dictionary
definition confirms so. Consequently my word to describe the size of
each portion of cobbler is “blob” which is smaller than a dollop!
Reading this paragraph it sounds like I've really lost it. Recipes
should be as precise and descriptive as you can make them and size
definitely matters when you're giving guidance to readers.
Once again, to back up my mouth – here's my tip :
Dust off that ice cream scoop that you use once every blue moon!
Brush the scoop with the tiniest drop of vegetable oil to prevent
sticking and use it to scoop uniform blobs of cobbler – it's meant
to be rustic so don't stress! It's an idea so that you'll achieve
even weighted cobbler cooking.
By the way – my ice cream scoop measures 5cms in diameter – 2”
in old money, here it is :
