Print Recipe

A cozy and easy homemade cherry cobbler featuring a juicy tart cherry filling topped with tender, fluffy biscuits made from scratch with buttermilk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups frozen cherries (about 600g), thawed and drained slightly
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g), adjust based on cherry tartness
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g), sifted
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85g), cold and cubed
  • 1 cup buttermilk (240ml), cold
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine thawed cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until cherries are evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  4. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
  5. Pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. Dough should be soft and sticky with some lumps; do not overmix.
  6. Pour cherry filling evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the cherries, spacing them evenly.
  8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and cherry filling is bubbling at the edges.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold when mixing biscuit dough to create flaky biscuits. Let cherry filling rest while preparing topping to activate cornstarch. Use a spoon or cookie scoop for even biscuit sizes. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too fast. Let cobbler rest 10 minutes before serving for best texture.
