Ingredients

  • 3 pounds fresh berries cleaned and sliced
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter diced
  • 1 cup half and half

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium-size mixing bowl, toss berries with lemon zest and juice, cornstarch, vanilla, and white sugar. Spread them out in the 9×13 pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry cutter to cut in butter until it resembles a course meal, or pulse the whole thing together in a food processor.
  4. Pour in half and half and stir to form a thick batter.
  5. Scoop the batter in large clumps on top of the berries to form a nice cobbler crust.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

Notes

  • If using frozen berries instead of fresh, the end result may a bit runnier since the berries end up having extra moisture once thawed. To compensate for this, double the amount of cornstarch in the recipe.
