Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 2 tablespoons granulated or light brown sugar (for topping)
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the berries, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat the fruit evenly.
Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Set aside.
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.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract to form a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the fruit mixture, leaving some gaps for the fruit to bubble through as it cooks.
Sprinkle the dough topping with 2 tablespoons of granulated or light brown sugar for added sweetness and a crispy texture.
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the cobbler warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
