Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the berry filling: In a bowl, gently toss the mixed berries with 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. If using, add the almond extract. Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the biscuit topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the berry filling. It does not need to cover the entire surface; gaps are fine.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar over the topping.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly.
- Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream.
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 richer topping flavor, substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
- This recipe works well with almost any combination of berries, including blackberry, raspberry, or triple berry mixes.
