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!

Number Of Ingredients 12

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).
