Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- 8×8-inch baking dish
- Pastry cutter or fork
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for coating berries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch for coating berries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by greasing it lightly to prevent the cobbler from sticking.
- In a bowl, toss the mixed berries with granulated sugar and cornstarch to coat them evenly, enhancing their sweetness and creating a thickened filling, then spread them out in the baking dish.
- In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt to create the cobbler topping, aiming for a biscuit-like texture that will complement the juicy berries.
- Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly, ensuring a consistent distribution of butter for a deliciously crisp topping.
- Pour in the milk and mix until just combined, forming a slightly sticky dough that will create a rustic topping when spooned over the berry mixture.
- Bake the cobbler for 35-40 minutes until the topping turns a beautiful golden brown and the berry filling bubbles at the edges, indicating that it’s fully cooked. Serve the cobbler warm, pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.
