Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the berry filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the mixed berries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved and the berries are coated. Pour this mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the biscuit topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined; do not overmix the dough.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the berry filling. You do not need to cover the entire surface; gaps are fine.
  6. Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  7. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly around the edges.
  8. Let the cobbler cool slightly on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the best experience.

Notes

  • If you use frozen berries, do not thaw them first. You may need to add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time.
  • For a different flavor, substitute half the milk with heavy cream for a richer biscuit topping.
  • This recipe works well as a last minute dessert idea when you need something quick.
