How To Make blueberry cobbler with sweet biscuit topping

  • Step 1
    MAKE SWEET BISCUITS: In a large bowl, sift together flour sugar, baking powder, baking soda & salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center of mixture. Add buttermilk & vanilla. Using a fork, stir until a dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using hands, gently knead 3 or 4 turns. Pat dough to 3/4" thickness. Using a 3" star cutter, cut biscuits, using dough scraps only once. Use as a topping for cobbler.
  • Step 2
    COBBLER: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously butter a 13 X 9 X 2" baking dish; set aside.
  • Step 3
    In a large bowl, combine blueberries, blackberries, sugar, lemon juice & vanilla. Toss to coat.
  • Step 4
    In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch & salt. Combine flour mixture with fruit mixture, stirring well. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Top with Sweet Biscuits.
  • Step 5
    Bake for 30 minutes. Cover with foil & continue baking for 30 minutes. Allow cobbler to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
  • Step 6
    NOTE: Sweet Biscuits also make a great foundation for shortcake. Simply place on parchment-lined baking sheets & bake at 450 degrees until light golden brown, usually 12 - 15 minutes.
