Make this cozy, comforting mixed berry cobbler using fresh or frozen berries. It features a simple, sweet-tart fruit filling and a tender biscuit topping, perfect for a quick dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 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 coarse sugar, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, gently toss the mixed berries with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the berries are coated. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the biscuit 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. Stir in the milk until just combined; do not overmix the dough.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the berry filling. It is fine if the berries show through.
  7. Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the biscuit 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 for at least 15 minutes before serving warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • If you use frozen berries, do not thaw them first. The cornstarch in the recipe helps thicken the juices released during baking.
  • For a slightly different texture, you can use a cake mix and butter for a very quick topping instead of the biscuit dough.
  • This recipe is a great option if you are looking into simple meal planning for weeknight desserts.
