Sugar - 50 grams (approx. 0.25 cup)
Egg (large) - 1
Butter (82.5% fat) - 100 grams (approx. 0.5 cup)

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Filling

Combine the berries with *sugar* and *cornstarch* in a bowl. Mix until the berries are fully coated. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 2

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the *flour*, *baking powder*, *sugar*, and a *pinch of salt*. Use a whisk to blend all the dry ingredients until they are uniform.

Step 3

Incorporate the Butter

Add the *cold butter*, cut into small cubes, to the dry mixture. Use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles small crumbs.

Step 4

Form the Dough

Add the *cream* and *egg* to the crumb mixture. Gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to over-mix to avoid a tough dough.

Step 5

Top the Filling

Using a spoon, drop dollops of the dough onto the berry mixture in a random pattern, covering most of the berries.

Step 6

Bake the Cobbler

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the dough is golden and cooked through. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

Step 7

Serve the Cobbler

Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Be sure to serve each portion with a generous scoop of *vanilla ice cream* for the perfect summer dessert experience.

Faq

  • What is the best way to pit cherries?

    Using a cherry pitter is the most efficient method; however, if you don't have one, a small paring knife can do the trick. Simply slice around the pit and twist gently.

  • Can I use frozen berries?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid adding excess liquid into your cobbler.

  • How can I tell if my cobbler is cooked?

    The top should be golden brown, and a skewer inserted into the topping should come out clean. Additionally, the filling should be bubbly around the edges.

  • Can I make the cobbler ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the fruit filling and dough separately and refrigerate. Assemble just before baking to ensure a fresh, bubbly result.

  • How do I prevent my cobbler topping from becoming too tough?

    Avoid overmixing the dough to maintain a tender texture—it should just come together when combined.

  • Can I add a crunchy topping to the cobbler?

    For a little extra texture, consider sprinkling some sliced almonds or rolled oats onto the dough before baking.
