Sorry. We just couldn't wait.
Wow!! Let me say it again...WOW!!!
I'm not even a black berry fan, but this is good...REALLY good. And pretty easy considering I made this on Day 1 of flying solo with two kids. Sure, when I was done making this, I had a baby nursing to his heart's content in the Baby Bjorn, Annie had and accident (not a pretty one at that), and I found Cheez-Its in the DVD player, but this cobbler was SOOOOOOOO worth it!
Fruit:
~ 3 c. black berries, rinsed
~ 1 qt. strawberries (~1 lb.) (halve the large ones)
1 T. cornstarch
1/2 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
Topping:
1 c. flour
1/4 c. plus 2 t. sugar
2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
1/3 c. buttermilk (or substitute a little less than 1/3 c. milk plus ~1/2 T. vinegar...let stand ~5 minutes to thicken up)
4 T unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1/3 t. cinnamon
Mix all the fruit ingredients together and place in a baking dish. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20-303 minutes until the fruit begins to release liquid.
Meanwhile, whisk flour, 1/4 c. sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, butter, and vanilla. In a small bowl, mix remaining sugar and cinnamon.
Gently stir the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until dough is just combined and no dry pockets remain.
Remove fruit from the oven and drop dough by spoonfuls on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon topping. Bake for 15-20 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving.
