Ingredients
Berry Mixture
- 4 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare berries: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly and pour the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Make the topping batter: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the milk and melted butter, stirring just until combined to form a thick batter. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender topping.
- Assemble the cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the berry mixture, leaving some gaps so the berries can bubble through while baking. This creates a rustic, charming appearance and helps with even baking.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly. Keep an eye on the topping to avoid over-browning.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly for a few minutes before serving. It is delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic touch.
Notes
- Great served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Use fresh or frozen berries; no need to thaw frozen berries before use.
