- ½ cup butter cut into small pieces

Instructions

Mixed Berry Cobbler
- Rinse blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Place berries in a large bowl.
- Sprinkle berries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Pour fruit into the prepared baking dish.
Cobbler Topping
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt
- together.
- Using a pastry blender, or a fork, mix butter into flour mixture until crumbly.
- Pour boiling water into the flour mixture and stir until combined.
- Spoon mixture over the berries, and spread gently making sure to cover the fruit completely.
- Bake uncovered for 50-55 minutes or until the topping is cooked thoroughly and has started to brown.
- *Lightly cover with aluminum foil if the topping starts to brown too much.
- Serve warm topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Cube your butter and chill it in the fridge until ready to use. This ensures it's as cold as possible when cut into the flour.
- Bring your water to a full, rolling boil before pouring it into the flour mixture. This ensures the topping mixes thoroughly and quickly, resulting in the best texture.
- Be sure to let the berries sit for 5 to 10 minutes so they begin to macerate before you bake them.
- If the crust browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil to slow down the process.
