Simple and sweet cherry cobbler topped with a buttermilk drop biscuit and made in a seasoned cast iron skillet. It’s a recipe for the soul of summer.
1 tablespoon butter
4 cups pitted cherries
1/2 cup sugar
zest of lemon
1/4 cup corn starch
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup butter, chilled and cubed
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
In a small (9 inch) cast iron skillet over medium to low heat, melt the tablespoon of butter and place the cherries, sugar, lemon zest and corn starch in with the butter and combine.
In a medium bowl mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Cut in the chilled butter until the butter is pea sized. Add the buttermilk and stir just until combined. Spoon directly onto the cherry mixture and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes. When it’s finished, turn off the oven and turn the broiler on high for a minute to brown the top.
