Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 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 granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish. Give yourself kudos for getting the oven ready!
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the mixed berries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Pour this berry mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the biscuit topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You are doing great!
  5. Pour in the milk and stir just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix; a few dry spots are fine.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the berry filling. You can space them out or cover the entire surface.
  7. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly around the edges.
  8. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This warm berry dessert is best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Celebrate this delicious victory!

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 topping flavor, substitute buttermilk for the milk.
  • If you want a slightly crispier topping, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar over the dough before baking.
