Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh blueberries
- 2 cups Fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir gently until the berries are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes to release the juices.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and kosher salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Using your hands or a spoon, drop pieces of the cornmeal dough over the berries to form a crust. The dough doesn’t need to completely cover the berries; a rustic appearance is ideal.
If desired, sprinkle the top with coarse sugar for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the berry filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
