Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the fresh raspberries and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat the raspberries and let them macerate for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to release.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Transfer the macerated raspberries to a 9-inch baking dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
- Spoon the biscuit dough evenly over the raspberries, ensuring that it covers them well.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the raspberries are bubbling delightfully.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the juices thicken.
- Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the biscuit topping.
- Feel free to mix in other berries like blueberries or blackberries for a mixed berry cobbler.
- If you prefer a sweeter cobbler, you can increase the sugar in the raspberry mixture to 3/4 cup.
