Honey Cobbler

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350ºfF).

   Tip: Make sure to use a rack in the middle of the oven for even baking.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cold butter, and granulated sugar. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   Tip: Be careful not to overwork the mixture, as this can lead to tough pastry.

3. 3

   Add the brown sugar, eggs, milk, and honey to the bowl. Mix until a dough forms.

   Tip: If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk. If it's too wet, add a little more flour.

4. 4

   Gently fold in the mixed berries and almond extract.

   Tip: Don't overmix, as this can cause the berries to break and lose their flavor.

5. 5

   Transfer the dough to a 20cm (8in) pie dish and spread it evenly.

   Tip: Make sure to leave a 2.5cm (1in) border around the edges.

6. 6

   Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.

   Tip: Cover the edges with foil if they start to brown too quickly.

7. 7

   Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

   Tip: Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

8. 8

   Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the cobbler before serving.

   Tip: This will balance out the sweetness and enhance the flavors.
