Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups mixed fresh fruit (such as peaches, berries, cherries, and plums)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.33 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed fresh fruit, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir well to coat the fruit evenly. Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add this liquid to the dry mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the fruit filling in the baking dish. The dough will spread as it bakes, so some gaps are fine.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
