Lattice Topped Blackberry Cobbler Recipe 455

BLACKBERRY COBBLER WITH LATTICE CRUST

Steps:

• For dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in sour cream. Add ¼ cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring gently just until a dough forms (do not overmix). Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and shape into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
• For filling: In a large bowl, stir together blackberries, cornstarch, lemon juice, orange zest, and remaining ¾ cup granulated sugar. Pour into prepared pan.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to ¼-inch thickness. Cut dough into 1¼-inch-wide strips. Weave strips on top of fruit in a lattice pattern. Trim excess dough. Brush dough strips with beaten egg, and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°, and bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 45 minutes more. Let cool for at least minutes before serving.

BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Combine the blackberries and sugar in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add to the pan. Simmer until thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in the almond extract and orange zest, then remove from the heat and place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, allowing the mixture to cool slightly.
• For the lattice crust: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface to approximately 10 by 14 inches. Cut one pie crust lengthwise into 4 long strips 1 3/4 inches wide (you will have scraps). Cut the second pie crust widthwise into 6 short strips, also 1 3/4 inches wide.
• Place the 4 long strips vertically on a sheet pan with half an inch between them. Fold the first and third strips back on themselves and lay a short strip across. Fold the first and third long strips back to their original position over the top of the short strip. Now fold the long second and fourth strips back. Lay a short strip over and return the long strips. Repeat until you have laid six strips across and have a lattice. Trim the edges a little and put the sheet pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the lattice to harden a little.
• Place the lattice on top of the blackberry mixture. Make an egg wash by beating the egg together with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Brush the lattice with egg wash and bake until the crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes. (The berries may bubble over slightly, but that's normal.)
• Serve bowls of cobbler with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

LATTICE-TOPPED BLACKBERRY COBBLER RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Place 1/3 cup granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer until combined (about 1 minute). Add egg yolk, beating well. Stir in vanilla. Place almonds in food processor. Pulse 10 times or until finely ground. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine nuts, flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring well with a whisk. Gradually add nut mixture to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until a soft dough forms, adding 3 tablespoons ice water, as necessary. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 6 times or until smooth. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap. Chill 1 hour or until firm. Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine the remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar, blackberries, cornstarch, and lemon juice and toss gently. Arrange berry mixture in a 13 by 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Unwrap chilled dough. Roll each dough portion into a 13 x 9-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut one rectangle, crosswise, into 1-inch-wide strips. Cut remaining rectangle, lengthwise, into 1-inch-wide strips. Arrange strips in a lattice pattern over fruit mixture. Sprinkle dough with turbinado sugar. Bake 50 minutes or until golden. Let stand 10 minutes.

LATTICE-TOP BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Make pastry dough.
• Place a baking sheet in lower third of oven and preheat to 400°F.
• Toss together berries, granulated sugar to taste, cornstarch, butter, lemon juice, water, and tapioca. Let stand, tossing occasionally, 20 minutes.
• Roll out 1 piece of dough into a 14-inch round and fit into a 9-inch pie plate (4-cup capacity). Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Chill shell while rolling out top.
• Roll out remaining piece of dough into a roughly 16- by 11-inch rectangle. Cut crosswise into 11 (1 1/4-inch-wide) strips with a fluted pastry wheel or a knife.
• Stir berry mixture, then spoon evenly into shell. Arrange strips in a tight lattice pattern on top of filling and trim strips close to edge of pan. Roll up and crimp edge. Brush top and edge with egg white and sprinkle all over with sugar.
• Bake on hot baking sheet until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes. (Check pie after 45 minutes: If edge of crust is browning too quickly, cover edge with foil or a pie crust shield and continue baking.) Cool completely on a rack before serving.

COBBLE TOPPED BLACKBERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the blackberries, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon of flour in a mixing bowl. Allow it to sit until the berries begin to soften and juices flow, about 3 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grease 6 (8-ounce) ramekins using 2 tablespoons butter and arrange them on a baking sheet. Divide the berries among the ramekins.
• Cut 1 cup of butter into cubes and freeze. In a bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, remaining 1/2 cup of flour, the cornmeal and the salt. Cut in the butter with a fork to make a pea-like texture and sprinkle it on top of the berries in the ramekins. Bake until the berries bubble and the topping is baked to a light golden color, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
