Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- In a medium bowl, combine mixed berries with 1/2 cup of sugar. Gently toss and let the berries macerate while preparing the batter, allowing them to release their natural juices.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
- Pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the batter is smooth and no dry ingredients remain, creating a consistent texture.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Distribute the macerated berries and their juices evenly over the batter, allowing them to sink slightly into the mixture.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 15-20 minutes. This allows the dessert to set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Best enjoyed fresh on the day of baking.
Tips
- Berry Selection: Use a mix of fresh berries for the most complex and vibrant flavor. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries work wonderfully together.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your milk and butter are at room temperature for a smoother, more consistent batter.
- Don't Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cobbler.
- Even Distribution: Spread the berries evenly to ensure every bite has the perfect berry-to-crust ratio.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the cobbler rest for 15-20 minutes after baking. This helps it set and makes serving much easier.
- Serving Suggestion: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream can elevate this dessert from great to absolutely spectacular!
- Storage: While best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven to restore that perfect texture.
