I created this with peaches instead of the berries as I had a couple of cans in my pantry. I used really strong buttermilk as I read that it rarely goes bad but that many people think it smells bad. The results were awesome.
Next time I make it I am going to use fresher buttermilk but I can heartily recommend this recipe. It was rather soupy because I used canned fruit instead of fresh (drained) but I think with fresh fruit this would be a perfect cobbler.
The crust caramelizes because of the 400 degree oven and fluffs up perfectly. If you don't have self-rising flour add 1 and 1 half teaspoons of baking powder and a half teaspoon of salt.
As a final flourish of my own I also dusted the top with a very light sprinkle of cinnamon.
There are four people in the house and there were absolutely no leftovers. Now that I have this recipe I will NEVER use a biscuit cobbler recipe again.
