On December 24, 2023 by userBerry cobbler is a classic dessert that features a luscious mix of sweet and tart berries topped with a golden, biscuit-like crust. Here’s a simple recipe for making a delicious berry cobbler:
Ingredients:
For the Berry Filling:
- 4 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on the sweetness of your berries)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Berry Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss the berries until well coated, and then transfer the mixture to a baking dish (approximately 9×13 inches).
- Make the Cobbler Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in Butter:
- Add the chilled, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add Boiling Water:
- Pour the boiling water over the flour mixture and stir until just combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.
- Drop the Dough:
- Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough onto the berry mixture, covering it as evenly as possible.
- Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
- Cool:
- Allow the berry cobbler to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.
- Serve:
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
- Enjoy:
- Enjoy this delightful berry cobbler with its juicy, sweet, and tart berry filling and golden biscuit topping.
