Ingredients
  

Mixed Berry Filling

  • 2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure

Buttermilk Drop Biscuit Topping

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour unbleached
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt fine
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

Mixed Berry Filling

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 4 quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Add mixed berries, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch and vanilla to a large bowl. Stir gently to combine then transfer fruit filling to the prepared baking dish.

Buttermilk Drop Biscuit Topping

  • Cut butter into cubes then melt in the microwave in a heat safe bowl.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
  • Add buttermilk and melted butter. Stir with a spoon until flour is just moistened.
  • Drop biscuit dough by heaping tablespoons onto berry filling until evenly distributed.
  • Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly golden and the fruit is bubbly hot.
  • Place baking dish on a wire rack and allow cobbler to cool for 10 minutes so the juices have time to thicken.
  • Serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
  • Cool leftovers completely before covering with plastic wrap and storing in the refrigerator. Cobbler will keep up to 3 days.
