  • Who knew the brown betty was bread crumbs?

    Do you know the differences between: a crisp, a crumble, cobbler, a brown betty, a buckle and a pandowdy? Do you care?  You should. Fruit desserts are in! Crisp: uses oatmeal. Crumble: not oats, streusel top/butter, brown sugar, flour. Cobbler: biscuits or pie crust on top. Brown Betty: bread crumbs, in layers with fruit. Buckle: cake with fruit mixed in and streusel on top. Pandowdy? Topping is biscuit, puff pastry, pie crust or other. Trick is that it is broken half way through so fruit bubbles up. Who knew these things?   My favorite is the cobbler. Try the Chez Panisse cream biscuits.
