Cherry-Berry Cobbler
- 4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups pitted, halved fresh cherries (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups raspberries
- 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 extra-large egg
- 13 cup buttermilk
- Whipped cream
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Butter four individual 8- to 10-ounce ramekins with half a tablespoon of butter.
- Line the bottom of the oven with foil to catch drips.
- Combine the cherries, blueberries and raspberries in a saucepan.
- Stir in the half cup of sugar, bring to a simmer and cook a few minutes, just until the fruit softens and becomes juicy.
- Remove from heat and fold in the lemon juice and tapioca.
- Put fruit in baking dishes, filling them no more than 2/3 full.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, two tablespoons of the granulated sugar and salt together.
- Cut in the remaining butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Beat the egg and buttermilk together; then stir into the flour mixture to form a thick batter.
- Drop a large blob of the batter on top of each dish of fruit.
- The fruit does not have to be covered completely.
- Sprinkle with the remaining granulated sugar.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the topping is brown and the fruit bubbly.
- Allow to cool to lukewarm; then serve, with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
