US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • To a large bowl, add blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, sugar, water, cinnamon, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix and add to a 9”x13” baking dish.
  • In a separate bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  • Cube up the butter and add it to the dry mix. Incorporate lightly using a fork or pastry cutter.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and half and half.
  • Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix until incorporated.
  • Spray an ice cream scoop with no stick and begin adding scoops of the biscuit mixture to the blackberries. Once all the biscuit toppings is used, you are ready to bake!
  • Add the baking dish to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden-brown.
  • Let the cobbler cool out of the oven for 15 minutes before digging in.
  • Top with ice cream, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use cold butter: It’s important to use cold butter for this biscuit topping! Refrigerate your butter until you are ready to use it!
  • Experiment: Use a combination of mixed berries or use completely different fruit entirely! You can even make a savory version like our chicken pot pie cobbler!
  • Storage. Leftover cobbler can be kept at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. After a couple days the biscuits will lose their texture.
  • Freeze. We don’t recommend freezing the cobbler because the biscuit toppings will become soggy and lose their texture.
