This Mixed Berry Cobbler recipe creates a juicy, sweet-tart filling topped with a golden, flaky biscuit crust. It is a comforting homemade dessert that works well with fresh or frozen berries, perfect served warm with ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 6 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate or an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the berry filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the mixed berries, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the biscuit topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour in the milk and stir just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the berry filling. You do not need to cover the entire surface; gaps allow steam to escape and berries to bubble up.
  7. Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  8. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is thick and bubbly.
  9. Let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving warm. Serve with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen berries directly into the recipe without thawing; you may need to add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time.
  • For a richer topping flavor, add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients for the biscuit topping.
  • This rustic berry bake is a fantastic dessert for potluck gatherings.
