Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure an 8-inch cast-iron skillet is ready for baking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine mixed berries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat the berries and let them macerate for 10 minutes to release their natural juices.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Pour milk and melted butter into the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the macerated berries to the cast-iron skillet, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
- Carefully pour the batter over the berries, using a spatula to distribute it as evenly as possible. Some berries may peek through the batter.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. The cobbler will be very hot and continue to set as it cools.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Best enjoyed fresh from the skillet.
Tips
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- Let the berries macerate for at least 10 minutes to release their juices and enhance the overall taste.
- Don't overmix the batter—this can lead to a tough, dense cobbler topping.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for even heat distribution and a beautiful rustic presentation.
- Check the cobbler around the 25-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set and prevent burning your mouth.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
