Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, combine the mixed berries, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss gently until the berries are coated. Pour this mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the biscuit topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour in the milk and stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the berry filling, leaving small gaps between the pieces to allow steam to escape.
  7. Brush the tops of the dough pieces lightly with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.
  8. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • If you use frozen berries, do not thaw them first; use them straight from the freezer.
  • For a shortcut, consider using a cake mix topping if you are short on time, though this recipe uses a traditional biscuit style.
  • This dessert is great for simple meal planning when you need a last minute dessert idea.
