Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare your outdoor grill or indoor grill pan by preheating to medium heat (around 350-375°F).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries with 1/4 cup of sugar and gently toss to coat the berries evenly. Set aside to macerate and release their natural juices.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Melt the butter and add it to the flour mixture along with the milk. Stir until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Grease a cast-iron skillet or heavy-duty aluminum baking dish that is grill-safe.
- Pour the macerated berries into the prepared skillet, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
- Carefully pour the batter over the berries, ensuring it covers most of the fruit but does not completely seal the edges.
- Place the skillet on the preheated grill, close the lid, and cook for 25-30 minutes. The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the grill and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The cobbler will be extremely hot.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Berries: Use a mix of seasonal berries for the most vibrant flavor profile.
- Grill Temperature Matters: Maintain a consistent medium heat (350-375°F) for even cooking.
- Use a Grill-Safe Skillet: Cast-iron skillets are ideal for even heat distribution.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Stir just until ingredients are combined to keep the cobbler tender.
- Let It Rest: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set.
- Optional Enhancements: Top with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- Watch Carefully: Check the cobbler around the 25-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
