Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups Mixed fresh summer berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly. Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In another large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough over the berry mixture, evenly spacing the dollops across the top. It's okay if some of the fruit is exposed.
If desired, sprinkle the dumplings with coarse sugar for a bit of crunch and sweetness.
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the berry mixture is bubbly and the dumplings are golden brown and cooked through.
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. Enjoy!
