This Traditional Berry Cobbler is a delightful, timeless treat that's perfect for showcasing the best of seasonal berries. It's simple to make and brings a touch of warmth and nostalgia to any table.
Mixed berries bring a burst of freshness and color, making each bite a juicy delight. Use whatever is in season or frozen if you're in a pinch. Granulated sugar sweetens the batter and helps to create a lovely caramelized crust. All-purpose flour forms the base of the batter, giving structure to the cobbler. Milk adds moisture, making the batter smooth and creamy. Unsalted butter, melted, is essential for that golden, rich crust. Baking powder ensures the cobbler rises perfectly, creating a fluffy texture. A pinch of salt enhances all the flavors. Finally, vanilla extract adds a hint of warmth and depth to the dish.
This cobbler pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a cozy twist, try serving it warm with a side of custard. It's also fantastic as a breakfast treat with a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
First, get your oven going at 350°F (175°C) so it's hot and ready when you're done mixing. While that's preheating, grab a mixing bowl and combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Give it all a good stir to ensure everything's evenly distributed.
Next, pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is nice and smooth—no lumps here! Once that's done, take your 9x9-inch baking dish and pour in the melted butter. Swirl it around a bit to coat the bottom.
Now, pour your batter over the melted butter. Resist the urge to stir; we want that butter to stay at the bottom for a perfect crust. Evenly sprinkle the mixed berries over the batter. Again, no stirring! Pop it into your preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes.
You'll know it's done when the crust is golden brown and the berries are bubbling away happily. Let it cool for at least 15 minutes before you dive in. This cooling time helps everything set perfectly.
