Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh peaches or mixed berries
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for dough)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them into thin wedges. For berries, rinse and pat them dry. Add the fruit to a large mixing bowl.
Mix 0.75 cups of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch into the fruit. Stir until the fruit is evenly coated and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, whisk together 1.25 cups of all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 0.25 teaspoons of salt.
Cut 0.5 cups of unsalted butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in 0.5 cups of whole milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
Drop the biscuit dough in small dollops over the fruit mixture, leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
Optionally, sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar for extra crunch and sweetness.
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the biscuit topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
