Mary Engelbreits Sweet Treat Blackberry Cobbler Recipes

BEST BERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor (or whisk together by hand in a large bowl) until combined. Add butter and process (or cut in using a pastry blender or two forks) until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, if needed, and add heavy cream in a slow, steady stream, mixing with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together. Pat dough into a square on work surface and cut into 9 equal squares.
• Whisk together cinnamon, granulated sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl. Add berries; toss gently to coat. Transfer mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish. Top berries with dough squares, spacing evenly. Brush dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar. To catch any juices that may bubble over when baking, place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and fitted with a wire rack or lay a piece of foil on the rack below the cobbler. Bake until berries are bubbling in center and biscuits are golden brown, 50 to 75 minutes. If biscuits are browning too quickly, tent with foil. Transfer dish to a wire rack and let cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Serve with ice cream if desired.

EMILY'S BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
• Cream 1 cup of sugar with the softened butter until light and fluffy. Mix in the flour mixture alternately with the milk until no large lumps remain. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the berries over the batter, and sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of sugar. Pour the boiling water over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the batter has firmed and the berries are soft, about 50 minutes.

MARY ENGELBREIT'S "SWEET TREAT" BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Make the biscuit topping. In a large bowl, toss together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add the cream to the crumbs, mixing with a fork until a soft batter forms. Set the topping aside.
• Make the blackberry filling. In a large bowl, toss together the blackberries, sugar, flour, and allspice.
• Spoon the filling into an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Using a large spoon, drop mounds of the biscuit topping on the blackberry filling (the batter will spread as it cooks).
• Bake the cobbler for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.
• Serve warm or at room temperature. Top with vanilla ice cream (optional).
