“This is a twist on our family’s standard chocolate cobbler, the one my daughter asks me to make every time she has a friend over. My mother always made it for us because it calls for ingredients she kept on hand—and it doesn’t even need an egg!”
Christy’s Tip: “Although it’s tempting, resist the urge to stir the hot water into the batter. Trust me—it bakes up beautifully.”
