Blueberry and Raspberry Cobbler


 FYI- Sorry for the lack in recipes lately, in my last semester of grad school woohoo! Which means lots of work, certification exams, and planning my move back to VA in August!


Summer is here! Here is a dessert made with some colorful and yummy berries. I enjoy cobblers and my mom's amazing crumbles and decided to make a new shortbread/scone type top.The berries will bubble and the top gets nice a crumbly. Feel free to use all of one type of berry or mix some of your favorites together. Enjoy! Serves 8

Ingredients
*For the inside
2.5 cups raspberries/blackberries
1 tbsp cornstarch (or 2 tbsp flour if you cant find cornstarch)
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon 
squeezed juice from one half lemon

*For top
1 3/4 cups flour (all-purpose)
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
sprinkle of salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup heavy cream

Preheat oven to 375 F
In a glass baking dish combine inside ingredients
To create the top, combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt
Add in butter, mix with fingers or mixer
Then add in cream

Roll out into a thin sheet and cut into squares, you will have extra dough to freeze and use later
(to freeze, I wrap tightly in plastic wrap)
Place dough on top of berry mixture
Cook for about an hour
Until top is starting to brown and berries are bubbling!
