Description
A delightful berry cobbler recipe that’s perfect for summer, featuring a sweet berry filling topped with delicious biscuits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds berries (fresh or frozen, mixed)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh squeezed, about 1 lemon)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup salted butter (frozen for 10 or more minutes)
- 1 cup heavy cream (whole milk or buttermilk can be substituted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (milk can be substituted)
- 2 tablespoons sanding sugar (or turbinado sugar or granulated sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir to combine until the berries are fully coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and set aside.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Use a cheese grater to grate the butter and mix everything together with a fork or your fingers.
- Stir the cream and vanilla extract together. Pour the cream mixture over the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
- Scoop out biscuits with a cookie scoop or large spoon and place on top of the berries in the baking dish. Flatten slightly with your hands or the back of a spoon. Repeat until you have mostly covered the berries.
- Brush the heavy whipping cream over the top of the biscuits and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the filling is bubbling and the biscuits are lightly golden brown and cooked through. Check halfway through cooking and if the topping is too dark, lightly tent with foil and finish cooking.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the pan to a wire rack. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Optional garnishes include fresh berries, mint leaves, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream.
