Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed wild berries, white sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined and set aside to allow the berries to release their juices.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the chilled, cubed unsalted butter, and use your fingers to rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The dough should be sticky and slightly lumpy.
- Pour the berry mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the berry mixture, leaving some gaps for the berries to peek through.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
Tips
- Feel free to mix and match your favorite berries—blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries all work beautifully!
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the berry mixture.
- If using frozen berries, there's no need to thaw them; just increase the baking time by a few minutes.
