A comforting and easy-to-make mulberry cobbler featuring a fluffy buttermilk biscuit topping, perfect for summer evenings and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh mulberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on berry sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss mulberries with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon if using. Let sit while preparing biscuit topping.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar if desired.
  4. Cut cold, cubed butter into dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  5. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour mulberry filling into prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over berries, spacing to allow berry filling to peek through.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and springy, and berry juices are bubbling. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  8. Let cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow filling to set.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold for flaky biscuits. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. Use fresh or well-drained thawed berries to prevent watery filling. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly. Check baking powder freshness if topping does not rise well.
