KERRY-BERRY COBBLER


Kerry- Berry Cobbler

 Blueberries are in season! I’m growing them in my backyard. I love the simple recipes you can assemble in minutes. This one is great with vanilla ice cream. 

Ingredients:
1 ½ cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons Plus 1 cup sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 “  pieces
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sour cream
6 cups fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk 1 ½ cups flour, 3 Tbsp. sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter; using your fingertips, incorporate until only pea sized lumps remain. Gently mix in sour cream. Knead in a bowl until biscuit – like dough forms.

Combine remaining 1 cup sugar, remaining 3 Tbsp. flour, berries, juice, and zest in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Pour into an 8x8x2” glass dish. Tear biscuit topping into quarter- size crumbles and scatter over berries.

Bake cobbler until juices are thick and the topping is cooked through about 40 minutes. Let cool for a least an hour.
