Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen boysenberries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping, optional)
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish or pie dish lightly with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the boysenberries, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir gently until the berries are coated evenly. Set aside to allow the juices to release.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, combine the milk and vanilla extract. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix, as the cobbler topping should remain tender.
Pour the boysenberry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler dough over the berry mixture, covering most of the fruit but leaving some gaps for the filling to bubble through.
If desired, sprinkle the top of the cobbler dough with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar for a crisp, sweet crust.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
