Ingredients

• 6 cups Mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 0.33 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or similar oven-safe dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat the berries evenly and transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The dough will be sticky.

Step 6

Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the berry mixture, spreading it out as evenly as possible. It’s okay if there are some gaps; the dough will spread as it bakes.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the dough for an extra crunch and sparkle.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
