Yield 1 9-inch square cobbler, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) can gooseberries, drained
1 (15 ounce) can blueberries, drained
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated sugar (yes, again)
9 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold (cut into 9 pieces)
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup half-and-half

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F, then butter a 9-inch square baking pan or a 2-quart baking dish.
In a bowl, toss together the berries, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice & cornstarch until combined well, then transfer to the baking dish of choice, spreading evenly.
In another bowl sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon & 1/4 cup of sugar, then cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture had chunks no larger than small peas.
Add vanilla & half and half & stir together until a dough forms, then spoon the dough into mounds over the berry mixture.
Bake about 40 minutes or until topping is golden brown & cooked through.
Cool slightly & enjoy a very warm cobbler, or let it come to room temperature & enjoy it that way!
