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

Method
 

Mixed Berry Filling
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 4 quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. 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
  1. Cut butter into cubes then melt in the microwave in a heat safe bowl.
  2. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
  3. Add buttermilk and melted butter. Stir with a spoon until flour is just moistened.
  4. Drop biscuit dough by heaping tablespoons onto berry filling until evenly distributed.
  5. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly golden and the fruit is bubbly hot.
  6. Place baking dish on a wire rack and allow cobbler to cool for 10 minutes so the juices have time to thicken.
  7. Serve warm with a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
  8. Cool leftovers completely before covering with plastic wrap and storing in the refrigerator. Cobbler will keep up to 3 days.
