6-minute Berry Cobbler Mugs

-

(Serves 2)

2/3 cup flour 3½ tbs sugar Generous 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon 2 or 3 pinches sea salt 2 tbs unsalted butter, cut into pieces 2 cups fresh or frozen (partially defrosted, undrained) mixed berries such as strawberri­es, raspberrie­s, and blueberrie­s or blackberri­es (halve any large berries) 1 tbs clover honey or maple syrup Add scoops of ice cream or dollops of whipped cream for serving (this is optional)

Stir together the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a 2½-to-3-cup microwave-safe bowl, then add the butter.

Cover with waxed paper. Microwave on HIGH for 40 seconds, or until the butter melts.

Stir thoroughly, then re-cover; microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds. Stop and stir well, then re-cover and microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds. Stir again.

Divide the berries and honey between the microwave-safe mugs, stirring to incorporat­e.

Divide all but a generous 1/3 cup of the crumble between the two portions, lightly folding it in.

Sprinkle the remaining crumble over each portion.

Loosely cover and microwave on HIGH, for 1½ minutes.

If the berries aren’t cooked through and bubbling, microwave on HIGH for 30 to 50 seconds more. Let stand to cool slightly. Top with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired, and serve.
