Ingredients

4 cups mixes berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, etc.)

1 /4 cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons almond liqueur or bourbon

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup raw almonds

3/4 cup self-rising flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1 tablespoon pieces

2-3 tablespoons cold water or buttermilk

1 tablespoon sugar in the raw


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the berries, sugar, liqueur or bourbon and vanilla. Set aside.
  3.  To make the topping, add the almonds to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until fine. Add the flour and sugar and pulse to combine.
  4. Add the butter and pulse until texture resembles that of wet sand.
  5. Add in two tablespoons of water and pulse until a dough forms. If dough does not come together, add 1 more tablespoon of water and pulse to form dough.
  6. Add the berries to a 9-inch cast iron skillet. Use a tablespoon to scoop dough on top of berries in 6-10 evenly spaced spoonfuls. Sprinkle sugar in the raw onto the top of the dough.
  7. Bake cobbler in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until berries are bubbling and biscuits are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  8. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
