Ingredients
- 900 grams Fresh or frozen cherries (pitted)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar (for cherries)
- 15 grams Cornstarch
- 15 ml Lemon juice
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 2 grams Salt
- 50 grams Granulated sugar (for shortcake)
- 85 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 15 grams Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) deep-dish pie pan or baking dish.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine cherries, 100 grams of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the cherries evenly. Set aside.
Step 3
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 50 grams of granulated sugar.
Step 4
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour this liquid into the dry mixture and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 7
Using a spoon or your hands, drop small portions of the shortcake dough over the cherry filling, leaving a few gaps for steam to escape.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar over the shortcake topping for extra crunch and sweetness.
Step 9
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
