How To Make A Berry Cobbler
Step 1: Prepare the filling
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place all of the fruit, sugar, vanilla, salt, flour, and lemon juice in a cast iron skillet.
Step 2: Prepare the topping
Combine the flour, butter, salt, and baking powder in a food processor. Pulse until a clumpy dough forms. Pour in the heavy cream and pulse until mixed.
Step 3: Add toppings
Form the dough into circles and place on top of the fruit mixture. Sprinkle with pecans.
Step 4: Bake, serve, and enjoy!
Place the berry cobbler in the oven and cook for 32-35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 -15 minutes. Add a scoop of ice cream, fresh fruit and some mint leaves and devour!
Expert Tips
- Swap the fruits. You can stick with just one kind of berry or any combination you like. You’ll need to make sure to use a total of 5 cups of the fruit of your choice. Apples, pears, and peaches are also tasty!
- Skip the pecans. Hate nuts? Omit them completely. Or exchange the pecans for almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts.
- The top won’t be covered. Don’t be alarmed that you don’t have enough topping to cover the entire fruit cobbler. There should be fruit juice seeping around the biscuit topping.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a cobbler a cobbler?
What sets a cobbler apart is that the top is made with a biscuit crust. It’s meant to be bumpy, uneven, and doesn’t always cover all of the fruit.
How do you thicken the filling?
The filling is thicker because of the flour that is added. However, if you want it to be much thicker you can add in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the fruit. This will keep it from becoming soggy.
