Mixed Berry Cobbler With Cornbread Biscuit Topping Recipes

MIXED BERRY BISCUIT COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Place berries, 2 tablespoons flour, ⅓ cup sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl; toss to coat. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 8-inch square baking pan (or other 2-quart baking dish); set aside.
• Whisk together 3 tablespoons sugar, remaining 1½ cups flour, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add butter; rub into flour mixture with your fingers until mixture forms pea-sized pieces. Add 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons cream; mix with a fork until combined. (Dough will be sticky.)
• Form dough into biscuit-sized mounds (2 to 2½ inches wide) using a large spoon or ice cream scoop; arrange over berries in pan. Brush dough mounds with remaining 2 tablespoons cream; sprinkle tops with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Bake until berries are bubbling and biscuits are deeply golden, 45 to 50 minutes, covering with aluminum foil after 40 minutes to prevent overbrowning, if needed. Cool 15 minutes, and serve.

MIXED BERRY COBBLER WITH CORNBREAD BISCUIT TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F with rack in the middle position.
• In a large bowl, toss together berries, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Transfer to a 13x9x2 baking dish set on a baking sheet (in case any fruit juices spill over).
• Whisk together flour, cornmeal, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and table salt.
• Add cooled melted butter to chilled buttermilk. Stir until small butter clumps form. Stir butter and buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
• Drop biscuits over the fruit filling using heaping spoonfuls. Flatten just slightly with the back of your spoon to promote even baking. Topping will spread as it bakes.
• Bake cobbler for 40-45 minutes, until filling is bubbling and topping is browned. Filling will thicken as it cools.
• While cobbler is baking, melt together 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and the honey. Remove cobbler from oven and brush the biscuits with the honey butter mixture.
• Let cobbler cool for 30-45 minutes, until just warm (cobbler is best served within a few hours of being made). Spoon into bowls and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with softened butter.
• Add the berries, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla to the pan and stir to combine. Add the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, stir to combine, then spread filling into an even layer; set aside.
• Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a large food processor (or large bowl). Pulse (or whisk) until combined. Add the cubed butter and pulse several times until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (the largest piece of butter should be no larger than pea-size). If not using a food processor, cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry cutter.
• Using a liquid measuring glass, whisk the vanilla into the buttermilk then pour into the feed tube while pusling. Pulse a few times to moisten (don't overmix). If not using a food processor, make a well in the center of the mixture and add the buttermilk to the center. Fold together with a spatula until it begins to come together but don't overwork the dough.
• Drop the dough by small spoonfuls all over the berries, leaving a few gaps so the filling can steam. Brush the top of the biscuit dough with 1 Tablespoon of buttermilk to help it brown (optional). Sprinkle the topping with raw sugar and ground cinnamon.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 45-55 minutes, or until the filling is thick and bubbling and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. Let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes to set before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and extra fresh berries if desired.
