This cobbler is topped with simple biscuit dough that lets the berries shine. Use blackberries or raspberries; a dash of cinnamon rounds out their flavor. Martha made this recipe on episode 704 of Martha Bakes.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
4 ounces (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup cold heavy cream, plus more for brushing
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more if needed
3 tablespoons cornstarch, plus more if needed
6 cups (3 pints) blackberries or raspberries
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling
Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor (or whisk together by hand in a large bowl) until combined. Add butter and process (or cut in using a pastry blender or two forks) until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, if needed, and add heavy cream in a slow, steady stream, mixing with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together. Pat dough into a square on work surface and cut into 9 equal squares.
  • Whisk together cinnamon, granulated sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl. Add berries; toss gently to coat. Transfer mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Top berries with dough squares, spacing evenly. Brush dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar. To catch any juices that may bubble over when baking, place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and fitted with a wire rack or lay a piece of foil on the rack below the cobbler. Bake until berries are bubbling in center and biscuits are golden brown, 50 to 75 minutes. If biscuits are browning too quickly, tent with foil. Transfer dish to a wire rack and let cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Serve with ice cream if desired.

MARY ENGELBREIT'S "SWEET TREAT" BLACKBERRY COBBLER



Mary Engelbreit's

While looking for a good cobbler recipe for the wild blackberries I picked, I ran across this recipe in an old Mary Engelbreit "Sweet Treats" Dessert Cookbook (from the 80's) that I had in my cookbook collection. The added heavy cream makes the biscuit topping rich and scrumptious!

BISCUIT TOPPING
1 1/2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup(s) sugar
2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
6 tablespoon(s) cold, unsalted butter, cut in pieces
3/4 cup(s) heavy cream
BLACKBERRY FILLING
4 cup(s) fresh blackberries
1/2 cup(s) sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon(s) ground allspice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Make the biscuit topping. In a large bowl, toss together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the cream to the crumbs, mixing with a fork until a soft batter forms. Set the topping aside.
  • Make the blackberry filling. In a large bowl, toss together the blackberries, sugar, flour, and allspice.
  • Spoon the filling into an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Using a large spoon, drop mounds of the biscuit topping on the blackberry filling (the batter will spread as it cooks).
  • Bake the cobbler for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Top with vanilla ice cream (optional).
