Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on berry sweetness)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the Topping:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Prepare the berry filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the mixed berries, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss until the berries are evenly coated.
- Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- Prepare the biscuit topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the top of the berry filling. It does not need to cover the entire surface; gaps are fine.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly around the edges.
- Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- If you use frozen berries, do not thaw them first. You may need to add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour in the topping with whole wheat flour.
- This recipe is a great alternative to complex meal planning; keep the ingredients stocked for a quick dessert.
