MINI CHERRY COBBLERS
Nothing beats a lightly sweet biscuit-topped cobbler. I want plenty of juicy fruit, sure, but there had better be enough topping that I get some in every bite. For me, individual cobblers are the way to go -- that way, people don't have to share their biscuits.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), with a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place eight 6-ounce round or oval baking dishes on it.
- For the drop biscuits: In a food processor, pulse together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the butter and pulse until it's well incorporated -- the mixture should look like coarse meal.
- In a container with a spout (such as a 2-cup liquid measuring cup), whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla. Pour the mixture into the food processor and pulse just until the dough comes together.
- For the mini cherry cobblers: In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and flour. In a large bowl, toss the cherries with the lemon juice, then add the sugar mixture and toss to coat the fruit. Divide the cherries evenly among the baking dishes.
- Divide the biscuit dough into 8 equal pieces. Crumble a piece of dough evenly over the surface of each dish of fruit. Brush the topping with the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake the cobblers until the topping is golden brown (the fruit may bubble up around the edges a bit), 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Fresh or frozen cherries can be used in this recipe. Frozen cherries do not need to be thawed before using.
- Use a biscuit mix that contains baking powder. Self-rising flour can also be used.
- The biscuits should be dropped onto the cherry mixture in spoonfuls. Do not spread them out.
- Bake the cobbler until the biscuits are golden brown and the cherry mixture is bubbling.
- Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- For a crispier topping, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking.
- For a sweeter cobbler, add 1/2 cup of sugar to the cherry mixture.
- For a more tart cobbler, use sour cherries instead of sweet cherries.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the biscuit mix for a more flavorful cobbler.
- Top the cobbler with a streusel topping for a crunchy texture.
