Marthas 3 Berry Cobbler Recipes

BEST BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor (or whisk together by hand in a large bowl) until combined. Add butter and process (or cut in using a pastry blender or two forks) until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, if needed, and add heavy cream in a slow, steady stream, mixing with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together. Pat dough into a square on work surface and cut into 9 equal squares.
• Whisk together cinnamon, granulated sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl. Add berries; toss gently to coat. Transfer mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Top berries with dough squares, spacing evenly. Brush dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar. To catch any juices that may bubble over when baking, place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and fitted with a wire rack or lay a piece of foil on the rack below the cobbler. Bake until berries are bubbling in center and biscuits are golden brown, 50 to 75 minutes. If biscuits are browning too quickly, tent with foil. Transfer dish to a wire rack and let cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Serve with ice cream if desired.

BLUEBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, and add heavy cream in a slow, steady stream, mixing with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together. Divide dough into 9 pieces, and loosely form each into a ball and flatten slightly. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon; toss gently to coat. Transfer mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Top blueberry mixture with dough balls, spacing evenly. Brush dough with heavy cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until berries are bubbling in center and biscuits are golden brown, about 55 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack, and let cool slightly, about 30 minutes.

CRANBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Stir together cranberries and 2 tablespoons sugar. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 3/4 cup sugar. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and egg, then whisk in butter. Whisk milk mixture into flour mixture until combined.
• Pour batter into skillet and scatter cranberries on top. Bake until center springs back when lightly touched, 25 to 30 minutes.

SUMMER BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place berries in a large bowl. Add sugar, flour, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss to combine. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pate brisee into an 18-inch circle 1/8 inch thick. Fold the dough in half, and transfer to an 8 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch round gratin dish or deep-dish pie plate. Carefully press the dough into the bottom and sides of the dish, allowing the excess to hang over the edge.
• Spoon the berry mixture into the prepared dish, and fold the pastry in over the fruit. Trim away excess pastry, leaving an opening of about 3 inches in the center. Chill cobbler in the refrigerator until dough is firm, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Combine egg yolk and cream in a small bowl. Brush pastry with the egg wash. Place cobbler in oven. Bake until crust is golden, about 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Continue baking until juices start to bubble up over the crust, about 35 minutes more. Remove from oven, cool slightly, and serve.

MARTHA'S 3-BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• *NOTE: To make your own superfine sugar combine some sugar in a clean coffee mill or mini-chopper. Blend sugar for about 10 seconds or until sugar is fine but not powdery. The grains will be small but still "sparkle".
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• In a large bowl, combine all the berries, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and a pinch salt. Stir gently to combine. Pour into a buttered 9-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, remaining tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and baking powder. Using a pastry knife or two knives, cut in butter until the mixture has the consistency of sand.
• Add 3/4 cup half-and-half, stirring just until mixture comes together. With your hands floured, form the dough into nine 2-inch biscuits. Place on top of berries. Brush biscuits with half-and-half, and sprinkle with superfine sugar.
• Bake until biscuits are golden brown and the berries are bubbling, approximately 25 minutes.
• Let cool on a wire rack. Serve with vanilla ice cream or real whipped cream. (I like to serve the cobbler slightly warmed for best flavor).

TRIPLE BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine berries, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
• Combine flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and baking powder in medium mixing bowl and stir. Add milk and butter while stirring. Pour mixture over berries until covered.
