Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Frozen mixed berries (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- Optional: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the frozen mixed berries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to coat. Set aside to allow the berries to macerate while you prepare the cobbler topping.
In another large bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder, and salt.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in milk and vanilla extract until the mixture forms a thick, shaggy batter. Be careful not to overmix; it should still look a bit lumpy.
Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter on top of the berries, leaving some gaps so the juices can bubble through as it bakes.
Sprinkle the top with a mix of ground cinnamon and brown sugar for a sweet, spiced crust.
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry juices are bubbling at the edges.
Allow the cobbler to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. The juices will thicken slightly as it cools.
Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat, if desired.
