- medium bowl
- wooden spoon
Ingredients
Cobbler filling
- 4 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (2-16 oz containers)
- 4 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen (2-16 oz containers)
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup sugar (can substitute with Splenda sugar [baking] mix - see notes)
Biscuit topping
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup whole milk (can substitute with 2% but not skim or nonfat milk)
- ½ cup butter, grated
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- In a medium bowl, stir together strawberries, blueberries, cornstarch, 1 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Pour into the bottom of the casserole dish.
- Next, rinse and dry the bowl before adding self-rising flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and grated butter. Then, pour in the milk and use a heavy wooden spoon to stir until just mixed. Do not overmix, otherwise, your biscuits will be dense and heavy.
- Drop the biscuit dough with a large spoon and press lightly to partially submerge them into the fruit cobbler mixture.
- Bake at 375ºF for 30 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the biscuits on top are golden. Let cool at least 20 minutes before topping with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or cream cheese.
Notes
Ingredient Notes
Splenda sugar (baking) mix can be substituted 1:1 for sugar. Do not use regular Splenda, as the fruit cobbler will not thicken properly. Instead use 1/2 regular Splenda and 1/2 sugar.
