Best 3 Essies Berry Cobbler Recipes

TRIPLE BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º.
• In a large bowl, toss all berries with 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with a pinch of salt.
• In another large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, lemon zest and salt. Add butter and break down into pea-sized pieces with your fingers or two forks. Gradually stir in the heavy cream and mix until a dough forms.
• Pour the berry mixture into your baking dish. Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop dough over fruit. Brush with cream and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the biscuits are golden brown, 47 to 50 minutes. Serve.

MIXED BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• For the filling: In a large bowl, toss the berries with whole wheat flour, sugar and zest. Transfer the berry mixture to the baking dish and set aside.
• For the topping: In a medium bowl whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter using 2 knives or a pastry cutter until many small pebble-sized pieces are formed.
• In a small bowl or pitcher, whisk together the buttermilk and oil. Add the buttermilk-oil mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened. Do not over mix. Drop the batter onto the fruit forming 6 mounds. Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of sugar. Bake for 30 minutes, until fruit is bubbly and top is golden. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving.
