Mini Berry Cobblers
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces blackberries or raspberries
8 ounces strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
Dash of salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon butter, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon turbinado sugar
Vanilla or strawberry ice cream
Directions: Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the berries in a small mixing bowl and sprinkle with the cornstarch and granulated sugar. Gently stir until evenly combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar and salt. Whisk the egg, milk, zest and butter together in another small bowl, then add to the flour mixture. Stir just until combined.
Divide the fruit mixture evenly between two Mini Cocottes, and top each with half of the cobbler mixture. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and place in preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden-brown and fruit is bubbling. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Serve warm topped with ice cream.
