Sweet Potato Cobbler
Makes 10-12 servings

FILLING:
  • 4 large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/2" thick (about 8 Cups)
  • Lightly Salted Water to Cover
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 4 Tbsp. Flour
  • 1 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (1 Stick) Unsalted Butter

PASTRY:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tbsp. Sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 4 tbsp. Ice water
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Pecans, optional

Filling:

Place Sweet Potato slices in a large saucepan with lightly salted water to cover.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer about 7-8 minutes, or until slices are just tender but still firm.

Drain all but 2 cups cooking liquid from Pan.

Reserve Sweet Potato slices.

To liquid in pan, add sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Add butter.

Place pan over medium heat and stir until sugar and flour dissolve and butter melts. Return Sweet Potato slices to pan and let syrup bubble up. Remove from heat.

Preheat Oven to 400° F.

Pastry:

Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut shortening into the flour until it is the consistency of cornmeal. Gradually add ice water until the dough holds its shape. Roll out on a floured board and cut into strips. Layer Sweet Potato slices in the bottom of an 8×10-inch glass baking dish. Pour syrup over. Criss-cross dough strips over the filling (like latticework) and brush pastry with melted butter. Sprinkle With sugar. Scatter pecans over top, if desired. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes or until pastry lightly browns and juices bubble up.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

    Covenstead Bread

    Recipe by Gerina Dunwich

    3/4 cup water
    1/2 cup honey
    1/2 cup finely chopped citron
    1/2 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons anise seeds
    2-1/3 cups flour
    1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon nutmeg
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon allspice

    Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Add honey, citron, sugar, and anise seeds. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves and then remove from heat.

    Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices, and fold into the hot honey mixture. Turn the batter into a well-greased 9 X 5 X 3-inch loaf pan and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for one hour. Turn out on a wire rack to cool. (This recipe yields one loaf of bread.)

    Covenstead Bread improves if allowed to stand for a day, and it is an ideal bread to serve during Lammas and Autumn Equinox Sabbats as well as at all coven meetings.

     

    (This "Covenstead Bread" recipe is from "The Wicca Spellbook: A Witch's Collection of Wiccan Spells, Potions and Recipes" by Gerina Dunwich, p. 169, a Citadel Press Book, Carol Publishing Group, 1994)
