Instructions:
-
Prepare the dough base:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add 120g of soft butter, cut into small pieces, and rub the mixture together with your hands until it forms a crumbly, sandy texture. You can also use a mixer to achieve this. -
Incorporate the liquid:
Slowly pour in the milk, stirring as you go. Continue mixing until the dough begins to come together. Add the zest of one lemon to infuse a fresh, citrusy note into the batter. -
Prepare the fruit filling:
Cut the pomegranate in half and carefully extract the juicy seeds. Add these pomegranate seeds along with the blueberries and raspberries to a separate mixing bowl. Gently combine the fruits together. -
Assemble the cobbler:
In individual ramekins (or a large baking dish), place 80g of butter, cut into small pieces, and microwave it until melted. Then, add 50g of the mixed berries into each ramekin. Spoon the cobbler batter over the top of the fruit until it’s fully covered. -
Bake:
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180ยฐC (350ยฐF) for about 45 minutes. The cobbler is ready when the top turns golden brown and the filling begins to bubble around the edges. -
Serve:
Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve the mixed berry cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips for Success:
- Freshness of fruit: For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe berries. If using frozen berries, make sure they are thawed and drained before adding them to the cobbler.
- Make it ahead: You can prepare the dough and berry filling ahead of time. Store the fruit mixture in the fridge and assemble the cobbler just before baking for a quicker dessert.
- Serving Suggestions: This cobbler is great on its own, but itโs also delicious when paired with custard or a drizzle of warm caramel sauce.
Enjoy this simple yet delightful dessert that’s perfect for any occasion, from family dinners to holiday celebrations. The Mixed Berry Cobbler is a sure way to satisfy your sweet cravings!
