# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You can make it in less time than it takes to preheat an oven, and theres only one dish to wash.
  • The berries get jammy and sweet while the batter puffs up into something that actually tastes like real cobbler, not a sad microwave experiment.
02 -
  • Dont overfill the mug or the batter will overflow in the microwave, and youll spend five minutes wiping purple splatters off the turntable.
  • If your berries are very tart, add an extra teaspoon of sugar to the batter or youll end up with a dessert that tastes more like breakfast.
03 -
  • Let the butter cool for a few seconds before mixing it in, or it can cook the batter and make it lumpy instead of smooth.
  • If the top looks done but the berries arent bubbling yet, give it another 15 seconds, underdone batter tastes gummy and sad.
