Equipment
- Cast Iron Skillet, Baking Dish, or Dutch Oven (all work)
- Bowls for mixing and fermenting
- Wooden Spoon
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
Ingredients
Blackberry Filling
- 4 Cups Blackberries Fresh or frozen work
- 1/4 Cup Honey
- 3 Tbsp. Butter
- 2 Tbsp. Flour
Cobbler Biscuit Ingredients The Night Before
- 1/2 Cup Fed sourdough starter
- 2 Cups All-purpose flour
- 1/3 Cup Melted butter
- 1/4 Cup Honey
Cobbler Biscuit Ingredients After Fermentation
- 1/2 Cup Cream Whole milk works well too
- 1 tsp. Baking powder
- 1 tsp. Baking soda
- 1/4 Cup Brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
Instructions
- The night before or at least 8 hours prior to serving the blackberry cobbler soak your grains together otherwise known as ferment your grains. Add 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of fed and bubbly sourdough starter, 1/3 cup of melted butter, and 1/4 cup of honey to a medium bowl and cover it with a tea towel.
- Once the grains have soaked and the rest of the dessert is ready to be made pre-heat the oven temperature to 350 before starting your blackberry filling. In a large cast iron skillet or pan add in 4 cups of blackberries. Next, add in honey, butter, and all purpose flour. Place skillet over medium heat until everything is thoroughly incorporated together.
- While your berries are simmering on the stove, it is time to tend to the dough that has been fermenting on the counter for the last 8 or so hours. Add to the dough: cream, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. If you want this recipe to contain less sugar simply omit the brown sugar or cut the ingredient amount in half!
- Mix the dough with the remaining ingredients well and then on a floured surface cut out the biscuits. I like to use mason jars to cut out the biscuits personally. Then place overtop of the cooked berry mixture. Place in the oven for around 20 minutes or when you see the cobbler biscuits turning to a golden brown color on the top.
- Allow the dessert to cool and enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or even with a dollop of whipped cream!
