MIXED BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• For the filling: In a large bowl, toss the berries with whole wheat flour, sugar and zest. Transfer the berry mixture to the baking dish and set aside.
• For the topping: In a medium bowl whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter using 2 knives or a pastry cutter until many small pebble-sized pieces are formed.
• In a small bowl or pitcher, whisk together the buttermilk and oil. Add the buttermilk-oil mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened. Do not over mix. Drop the batter onto the fruit forming 6 mounds. Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of sugar. Bake for 30 minutes, until fruit is bubbly and top is golden. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving.

BERRY FRUIT COBBLER WITH FRESH WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• For the cobbler: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Using 1 tablespoon of the butter, grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Chop the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside. In a separate bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and eggs. Mix together with a wire whisk until the dough just comes together.
• Add the blueberries and peaches to the greased baking dish. Drizzle the top with the lemon juice, sprinkle with the cinnamon and top with the remaining butter cubes. Drop the dough in large pieces onto the mixed fruit. Bake until the biscuits are just browned and the fruit is bubbling, 30 minutes.
• For the whipped cream: In a large, chilled stainless steel bowl, add the whipping cream, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream for 1 minute on medium high. Place the bowl in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• To serve the dessert, spoon some of the warm cobbler into a bowl, and top with a dollop of whipped cream.

BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or 9-inch cast-iron skillet with butter.
• Put the berries in a large bowl, then add the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and butter and toss together until well coated. Pour into the baking dish. Set aside.
• For the batter: Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, butter and egg in a bowl to form a stiff batter. Drop the batter by the spoonful over the prepared berries, then bake until golden and bubbling at the edges, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with whipped cream.

SUMMER BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, combine berries with sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch and lemon juice. Stir gently to combine. Spread berry mixture out on a 10-inch tart or gratin dish. Dollop spoonfuls of scone dough evenly over the top of the fruit; leave a border around the edge of the dish for spreading. Drizzle the surface with melted butter and dust with sugar. Set on a cookie sheet and bake for 25 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit juices bubbling.
• Cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with heavy cream, whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar; mix thoroughly. Cut in butter using 2 forks or a pastry blender. The butter pieces should be coated with flour and resemble crumbs.
• In another bowl, mix buttermilk and egg together, and then add to the flour mixture. Mix just to incorporate, do no overwork the dough.
• Roll blueberries in flour to coat, this will help prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the scone when baked. Fold the blueberries into batter, being careful not to bruise.

SLOW COOKER BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• For the filling: Butter the sides and bottom of the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Whisk together the cornstarch, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Add the mixture to the insert, add the berries and granulated sugar and toss.
• For the biscuit topping: Whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub the mixture together with your fingers so that it forms a coarse meal with some pea-sized lumps. Add the milk and stir with a wooden spoon to form a wet dough.
• Drop spoonfuls of the dough on top of the berry mixture. Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and the cinnamon and sprinkle over the dough. Cover the slow cooker and set to high for 3 to 4 hours. The cobbler should be bubbly and the biscuits should be cooked through. Let rest for 20 minutes before serving.
• For the sour cream topping: Meanwhile, combine the heavy cream, sour cream and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixture until the mixture forms medium peaks.
• Spoon the cobbler into bowls and top with the whipped sour cream topping.

BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cornstarch; whisk until thoroughly mixed. Add the berries and lemon zest, and stir until the berries are completely coated. Pour the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish or into 6 individual ramekins.
• For the topping: Sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture has the texture of coarse meal.
• Add the cream and mix in with a fork until a dough forms. Dust a work surface and your hands with flour. Gather the dough into a ball.
• Knead the dough gently for about 1 minute. Flatten the dough ball and then roll out with a lightly-floured rolling pin, shaping the dough into a rectangle or oval that matches the top of your casserole dish; cut into rounds if using ramekins.
• Lay the dough on top of the berries in the casserole dish or ramekins. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water until milky. Brush the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
