Make this ultimate comfort dessert, a Mixed Berry Cobbler bursting with juicy berries and topped with a golden, flaky biscuit crust. This recipe works perfectly with fresh or frozen fruit and is best served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate or an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the berry filling: In a bowl, gently toss the mixed berries with 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Pour this mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  3. Make the buttery cobbler topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour in the milk and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the berry filling. Leave small gaps between the biscuits to allow steam to escape.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar over the topping.
  8. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat.

Notes

  • If you use frozen berries, do not thaw them first. The cornstarch in the filling will help thicken the juices as they bake.
  • For an extra rich topping, brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with melted butter before sprinkling with sugar.
  • This rustic fruit dessert is excellent for summer gatherings or as a simple, satisfying end to any family dinner.
