Ingredients
6 cups Mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, sliced strawberries)
½ cup Granulated sugar
1 tbsp Lemon juice
2 tbsp Cornstarch
1 cup All-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp Baking powder
¼ tsp Salt
¼ cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
½ cup Milk (whole or 2%)
1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
Optional: ¼ tsp Cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
1. Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish.
2. Filling: In a bowl, gently toss berries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Transfer to the baking dish.
3. Topping: Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Cut in cold butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in milk and vanilla until a sticky dough forms.
4. Assemble: Drop spoonfuls of dough over the berry filling. It’s okay if some berries show through.
5. Bake: Bake for 35-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. Rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Pro-Tips:
• Use cold butter and handle the dough minimally to ensure a tender, biscuit-like topping rather than a tough crust.
• If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first; keep them frozen to prevent a watery filling.
• Let the cobbler rest for at least 10 minutes after baking so the berry juices have time to thicken.
Variations:
• Tropical: Swap half the berries for diced mango or pineapple and add a pinch of ground ginger.
• Crunch: Sprinkle coarse sugar or chopped nuts over the dough before baking for added texture.
• Spiced: Add a pinch of cardamom to the berry mixture for an aromatic, sophisticated flavor.
