Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade mixed berry cobbler with a buttery, crispy biscuit topping, perfect for any occasion and made with fresh or frozen berries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries), fresh or frozen
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) all-purpose flour (for thickening berry filling)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour (for biscuit topping)
  • 2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar (optional, for sweeter biscuit topping)
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine mixed berries, granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, lemon juice, and salt. Toss gently and set aside to macerate.
  3. Transfer the berry mixture to a 10-inch cast iron skillet, spreading evenly without stirring too much.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and optional sugar.
  5. Cut in cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
  6. Stir in milk or buttermilk and vanilla extract until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Drop biscuit dough by spoonfuls over the berry filling, leaving gaps for bubbling.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and berry filling bubbles around edges. Start checking at 25 minutes.
  9. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuit topping. Don’t overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Use cast iron skillet for best crispiness. If biscuit browns too fast, tent with foil. Frozen berries can be used without thawing fully. Let berry filling macerate for 10-15 minutes before baking.
