CHERRY BISCUIT COBBLER
We made the cherry filling in this cobbler intentionally juicy; the shortcake-inspired biscuits will soak up the extra liquid.

Steps:
- Biscuits:
- Whisk granulated sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and 2 cups flour in a medium bowl. Add butter and toss to coat. Quickly smash butter into flour mixture with your fingers, working until the largest pieces are about the size of a pea. Gradually stream cream into bowl, tossing flour mixture constantly with a fork to distribute. Using a flexible bench scraper or a hard plastic spatula, fold dough over and onto itself several times, scraping bottom and sides of the bowl, to bring together into a mass (dough will feel very wet and sticky).
- Turn out dough onto a generously floured surface. Pat into a 3/4"-thick rectangle or square with floured hands, using bench scraper or spatula to lift up dough and dust underneath with more flour as needed to prevent sticking. Dust surface with more flour, then cut dough into 4 equal pieces and stack on top of each other. Dust with flour and press down on stack with a rolling pin to flatten to a workable height. Roll out to 1/2" thick, dusting with more flour as needed.
- Use cutter to punch out biscuits as closely as possible, dipping cutter in flour often. Transfer biscuits to a plate. You should have about 40. Gather up dough scraps, reroll, and punch out more biscuits if needed. Chill until ready to use.
- Do Ahead: Dough can be made 1 day ahead; wrap tightly and chill.
- Filling and assembly:
- Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 400°F. Mix cherries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt in a large bowl. Scrape filling into a 2-qt. baking dish or 9"-diameter cake pan with 2" sides and press down on it firmly to compact. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Arrange chilled biscuits over filling, fitting snugly so they're touching with only a few gaps. Brush generously with butter; sprinkle with raw sugar.
- Bake cobbler 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F and continue to bake until biscuits are golden brown and juices are bubbling, 50-65 minutes more. Let cool slightly. Serve cobbler with ice cream.
- Do Ahead: Cobbler can be baked 1 day ahead; store tightly covered at room temperature.

Steps:
- Mix filling ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and turn off. Make the topping by mixing the dry ingredients. Then work in shortening with a pastry blender or fork. Quickly mix milk in. Place filling mix in a greased baking dish. Drop topping into cherries with a spoon. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 30 minutes until the topping is browned. Great served with milk or ice cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cherries: Fresh cherries are ideal for this cobbler, but frozen cherries can also be used. If using frozen cherries, thaw them before using.
- Sweeten the cherries to your taste: The amount of sugar you add to the cherries will depend on your personal preference. If you like your cobbler tart, use less sugar. If you like it sweeter, use more sugar.
- Use a variety of biscuits: You can use any type of biscuit you like for this cobbler. Canned biscuits, refrigerated biscuits, or homemade biscuits all work well.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cobbler tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cobbler until the biscuits are golden brown and the cherries are bubbling: This usually takes about 30 minutes. You can check to see if the cobbler is done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cobbler is done.
