VEGAN CHERRY COBBLER WITH ALMOND BISCUIT TOPPING

Steps:

• Scant tablespoon vegan raw, turbinado or granulated sugar, for sprinkling
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, put about a 9-inch piece of foil on a rack below it and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the filling: Whisk the granulated sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the cherries and their juices and toss to coat the berries well; stir in the lemon juice and almond extract. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch square, 9-by-2-inch round or other 2-quart baking dish. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake until very hot and beginning to bubble around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. (The colder your cherries, the longer it will take.)
• For the topping: While the berries cook (about 20 minutes into the baking time is fine), whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir the coconut oil and almond extract into the measuring cup or bowl with the cashew milk. Add it to the flour mixture and toss with a fork, then stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to make a cohesive dough.
• Carefully remove the filling from the oven, remove the foil and give the mixture a good stir. Working quickly, drop 8 to 10 spoonfuls of topping over the filling, making sure a few of them touch the edges of the dish, sprinkle with the raw sugar and bake until the topping is golden brown and crisp and a skewer inserted in a few biscuits comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let the cobbler cool about 30 minutes, during which time it will thicken up a bit, then divide among bowls and serve.

PEACH-BLACKBERRY COBBLER WITH ALMOND-BUTTERMILK BISCUIT TOPPING AND ALMOND WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F with a rack in the center of the oven and a second rack underneath; place a baking sheet on the second rack (to catch drips).
• For the filling: In a large bowl, toss the peaches and blackberries with the granulated sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish.
• For the topping: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Using your fingers or two knives, cut in the butter and lard until a coarse meal forms. Create a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. The dough will seem quite wet, but that's what you want for the topping.
• Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough onto the filling, brush lightly with milk and sprinkle with the raw sugar.
• Bake until the fruit is bubbling and tender, and the biscuits are deep golden-brown and cooked through, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, make the whipped cream: Whip the cream and granulated sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in the almonds.
• Serve the cobbler warm or room temperature in bowls; top with dollops of whipped cream.

SAVORY COBBLER WITH CHEDDAR BISCUIT TOPPING

Steps:

• For the vegetables: Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Stir together the Parmesan, parsley, rosemary, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
• Spread the eggplant in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, cutting rounds in half or overlapping slightly if necessary. Scatter 1/4 cup of the Parmesan mixture over the top of the eggplant. Top with a single layer of tomato slices, then scatter the corn kernels in an even layer over the tomatoes and follow with another 1/4 cup of the Parmesan mixture. Add a single layer of the yellow squash slices, then break the onions into rings and scatter over the top. Layer over the bell pepper, then another 1/4 cup of the Parmesan mixture; top with a layer of zucchini slices and finish with an even sprinkling of the remaining Parmesan mixture. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top.
• For the biscuit topping: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl. Grate the cold butter on the large holes of a box grater and stir into the flour mixture so all the butter pieces are coated with flour. Stir the Cheddar and scallions into the flour mixture. Make a well in the center, then add the sour cream and milk to the well and stir with a wooden spoon just until the ingredients are moistened. Using a cookie scoop or large serving spoon, drop scant 1/2-cup mounds evenly spaced over the top of the vegetables.
• Bake until the biscuits are deep golden brown, the filling is bubbling along the edges and the vegetables give easily when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter and let rest for 20 minutes before serving.
