Hey there, fellow foodies! Today I’m absolutely thrilled to share one of my all-time favorite afternoon treats that’ll make you feel like you’ve just stepped onto a charming country farm. Let me tell you about my Rustic Mixed Berry Cobbler with Honey-Lavender Biscuits – it’s seriously to die for!
You know those lazy Sunday afternoons when you’re craving something homey and delicious? This recipe is perfect for that! I stumbled upon this combination while experimenting in my kitchen (and maybe having a glass of wine or two 😉).
Here’s what you’ll need:
For the filling:
– 4 cups mixed berries (I use raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries)
– 1/2 cup local honey
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch
– Zest of one lemon
– Pinch of sea salt
For the biscuit topping:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
– 3/4 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender
– 2 tablespoons honey

Now, let’s get cooking (and try not to eat all the berries while we prep – I know it’s tempting)!
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Trust me, this temperature is perfect for getting those biscuits golden brown!
1. In a large bowl, gently toss your berries with honey, cornstarch, lemon zest, and salt. Pour this gorgeous mixture into a 9×13 baking dish.
1. For the biscuits (this is where the magic happens), whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Using your fingers (clean hands, ladies!), work the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
1. Here’s my secret trick: steep the lavender in warm cream for 5 minutes, then strain. Let it cool completely before using. Mix this heavenly cream with honey and fold into your flour mixture until just combined.
1. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture over your berries. Don’t make it too perfect – rustic is what we’re going for here!
1. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. (Your kitchen will smell AMAZING!)
Let it cool for about 15 minutes before serving. I love topping mine with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream – because why not live a little?
This recipe serves 8-10 people, but honestly, between you and me, I’ve definitely eaten way more than my fair share in one sitting! No judgment here!
