Servings 8
Ingredients
Topping
- 1½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cups white sugar divided
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons cold butter cut into pieces
- ¼ cup + 2 T boiling water
Berry Filling
- 4 cups fresh berries rinsed and drained
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup cold water
Instructions
Topping
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil to catch any overflow during baking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the boiling water and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together. Set aside.
Berry Filling
- In a medium saucepan, combine the berries, ¾ cup sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the berry mixture and stir well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly (about 3–5 minutes).
- Remove the berry filling from the heat and pour it into a 9-inch baking dish. Spoon the biscuit topping evenly over the berries—it’s okay if it doesn’t completely cover the filling.
- Place the baking dish on the prepared foil-lined sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious warm, especially with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
