Blackberry Almond Cobbler Recipes

PEACH-BLACKBERRY COBBLER WITH ALMOND-BUTTERMILK BISCUIT TOPPING AND ALMOND WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F with a rack in the center of the oven and a second rack underneath; place a baking sheet on the second rack (to catch drips).
• For the filling: In a large bowl, toss the peaches and blackberries with the granulated sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish.
• For the topping: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Using your fingers or two knives, cut in the butter and lard until a coarse meal forms. Create a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. The dough will seem quite wet, but that's what you want for the topping.
• Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough onto the filling, brush lightly with milk and sprinkle with the raw sugar.
• Bake until the fruit is bubbling and tender, and the biscuits are deep golden-brown and cooked through, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, make the whipped cream: Whip the cream and granulated sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in the almonds.
• Serve the cobbler warm or room temperature in bowls; top with dollops of whipped cream.

CHEF JOHN'S BLACKBERRY BUCKLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir blackberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; let rest, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Whisk flour, 3/4 cup sugar, almond meal, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Stir milk into flour mixture until batter is just combined.
• Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; pour into the bottom of a 8x12-inch baking dish. Pour batter over melted butter into the baking dish, using a spatula to gently distribute batter without mixing it into the butter, leaving a 1-inch butter border around the sides of the dish.
• Scatter blackberries over the batter and spoon any accumulated blackberry juices over the top.
• Bake buckle in the preheated oven until crisped and browned around the edges, about 1 hour.
• Melt remaining butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir almonds in hot butter until golden brown and toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle toasted almonds over blackberry buckle and cool buckle to room temperature.
