MINI CHERRY COBBLERS



Mini Cherry Cobblers image

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.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

241 grams (2 cups) all-purpose flour
71 grams (1/3 cup) packed light brown sugar
6 grams (1 1/2 teaspoons) baking powder
3 grams (1/2 teaspoon) baking soda
2 grams (1/2 teaspoon) fine sea salt
85 grams (3 ounces) (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
121 grams (1/2 cup) buttermilk
57 grams (1 large) egg
5 grams (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
66 grams (1/3 cup) granulated sugar
30 grams (1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
907 grams (2 pounds) (about 6 heaping cups) cherries, thawed if frozen, halved and pitted
10 grams (2 teaspoons) freshly squeezed lemon juice
Egg wash: 57 grams (1 large) egg, beaten with 15 grams (1 tablespoon) water and a small pinch of fine sea salt
Turbinado or coarse sugar, for sprinkling

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.

Conclusion:

This drop biscuit cherry cobbler is an easy and delicious dessert that can be made with fresh or frozen cherries. The biscuits are light and fluffy, and the cherry mixture is sweet and tart. This cobbler is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. With a few simple tips, you can make this cobbler even more delicious.
