Cobbler #6

Okay, this recipe was adapted from Mad Coyote Joe:

Topping:
1/2 C flour
6 T sugar (although, in retrospect, I may have added double this, I can't remember)
pinch t salt
1/4 t baking powder
1/2 large egg, beaten
4 T butter, melted

Prepare filling, and fill a bread pan about half way. For this, I used cranberry sauce, and it was awesome (I would highly recommend it). It was about the amount of sauce that you get from ~1.5 lbs of cranberries.

Preheat oven to 375F. Mix the dry ingredients, then pour in the egg and crumble in. Sprinkle on top of the filling, then pour melted butter on top. Bake for 40-45 min.

Thoughts: This turned out spectacularly. I have never heard of cranberry cobbler before, and after this I wonder why. I'm not sure how this would be out of a can, but it's worth trying. The topping turned out crispy, even though I feel like in the past its been soft. It might have been that I accidentally used too much sugar. Or, it might be that this was a half recipe (I normally double it). I doubt it, but it might have been a difference in the filling (like, less water bubbling out to steam the crust). I kind of wonder why I needed melt the butter on top, and whether I'd get a similar effect if I cut the butter in with the egg.
