This recipe is very close to the real deal...seems like there is a very little something missing...but I can't put my finger on it (they must have a secret ingredient of some sort). We still have an Underwood's cafeteria in Brownwood, TX (central texas)...and the cobbler is still great...just like everything else on their menu. Thanks for the great recipe. -
Thanks vlynn for this wonderful recipe. I too live in Eastern NM and remember eating this cherry cobbler years ago, at Lubbock, TX. Memory fades but I think we had an Underwoods here too. This is added to my favorites list! -

This was fairly easy to make and the taste is really nice. I had problems with the crust, in that I was not sure how much water to add and after about 50 minutes to 1 hour, it still would not brown. Could be my oven though. Thanks for posting.

I live in eastern NM in a small community. We farm and I am also the elementary secretary at the school. I've been at the school going on 14 years, moving this year from high school to elem. Nice change. It's a small school (250 pre-k to 12) so it's a very rewarding job. I know all the students and I love them all. My husband & I both have our own motorcycle, although I don't ride as much as he does. I love to cook, but I like to cook for a lot of people and you can tell when I start something. Usually it ends up being for an army when it's just my husband & I, our kids are grown. I don't know if I have a favorite cookbook, I just like them all and I get alot of recipes off the internet now. My passion is my God and my family. Pet Peeves-someone thinking they are better than me. I would like to travel if I had a month off with my family. Just take my time and enjoy the sights.
