Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°. Put berries and/or fruit in a large mixing bowl, then add lemon juice, lemon rind, ¾ cup of the sugar, ¼ cup of the flour, and ¼ tsp. of the cinnamon and mix together by tossing gently. Spread fruit mixture in a deep baking pan and bake until berries are hot and bubbling, about 20 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mix together remaining 2 cups flour, ¼ cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Use two knives or a pastry cutter to work butter into flour mixture until it is the consistency of coarse meal.

Step 3

Beat milk and eggs together in a small bowl, then add to flour mixture and stir with a fork until just mixed. Spread flour mixture evenly over berries.

Step 4

Mix together remaining 2 tbsp. sugar and ¼ tsp. cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle over top of cobbler. Bake until golden, about 25 minutes.
