This is an awesome recipe. Everyone said it was the best cobbler they ever had. The cobbler was eaten before the pumpkin pie. I also added vanilla in the dough and berries. I adjusted my recipe to fit a 8 x 11 1/2 pyrex pan. Using the frozen mixed berries from costco worked really well. I will use this recipe again. A keeper.

The suggestion to double the dough recipe is good advice. I used the cinnamon, as others suggested, and felt it was not needed; save it for apple cobbler. I made it in a large iron skillet, which was a quaint way to serve it up, but the pan was so heavy it was difficult to handle. Next time, I will make it in a large ceramic casserole dish. The crust was delish! The berry mixture tasted wonderful. If only blackberries were seedless…. But that's not a fault of the recipe. I will definitely make this again. Great served hot with vanilla ice cream.

Wow! This is such an excellent and simple recipe. I used fresh blackberries and blueberries... I should have read the reviews before making it but I was so excited to get started... next time I will 1.5 the biscuit topping. I may reduce the sugar in the fruit mixture as well. But overall, this was fantastic. I love using my cast iron! My first time making cobbler too.

good recipe,made this with frozen beerries (its the middle of november in colorado) and it was still good.

I love this recipe. I don't use cast iron, I put it in a baking dish. I use frozen berries from last season, I just let them thaw. It is splendid. I did make it with fresh berries and it was wonderful. There aren't too many things that I can whip together that are so satisfying to the family. This is one that I treasure.

This recipe was GREAT - I read all the reviews about reducing the amount of sugar, but I tasted my berries before I started and they were not sweet at all, so I used the required amount of sugar and it was perfect. I doubled the amount of dough, and I should have only doubled it by 1.5 - that would have worked better. My husband loved this recipe.

This was perfectly sweetened. Not too sweet, not too tart. I did add some cinnamon to the berries and to the flour mixture. Wonderful recipe for the cool winter months.

Unbelievable!! This was so good and so easy - the perfect treat!

My family and I loved this recipe! We first tried it with fresh blackberries and it turned out splendidly. Just a note. It is most definitely better if you double the topping as others have said. I added 1/4 tsp. Allspice and 2 tsp. Vanilla which it needed for the warm homecooked flavor you want. Also, don't skip the cast iron skillet. It adds so much to the presentation. When I made this again it was with peaches and my husbands co-worker said it was the best he had ever had. Thanks!

I wanted to use up the fruit in the fridge--I used nectarine, blueberries, and strawberries. It was a fantastic dish, served warm with a little vanilla ice cream. Big hit with the whole family!

Overall, this recipe was AMAZING. The blackberry filling was the best I've had. I did not care for the "drop dough". For some reason it did not turn out very good. So I am still searching for the best cobbler crumb topping to go with this amazing filling! ENJOY!

Great recipe! I added a little lemon zest to the dough and the filling, just to give it a kick! I also boiled everything and then put it in a baking dish like a few of the others did. Turned out beauitful!

This is fantastic cobbler! Just like grandma's from when I was little. I took the advice of others and added 1/4t cinnamon to the biscuits and the berries. Also did the 1/4C sugar in the biscuits and 2/3C in the berries. Next time I'll try using agave syrup to lower the glycemic index. I used half blackberries and half raspberry and wow, was that a great combo. I thought it was beautiful as is, the cinnamon really warmed up the taste of the biscuits, though I'll probably try adding a little vanilla next time, just to see what happens. I foolishly thought that the biscuit batter would be plenty and folks were just making their biscuits too big, but no, it really does need at least half again as much biscuit batter than what's in the recipe.

Will make again! I just added a little Cinnamon Plus (from Pampered Chef) to the dough. And I used a mix of blackberries and marionberries, and before it finished I added a few blueberries--just to get enough. And this is the first time I have made a dessert in my cast iron, great! But you definitely have to make homemade ice cream to go on top! Thanks!

Excellent recipe-thanks for sharing. I used frozen mixed berries and doubled the dough recipe (added a splash of vanilla as well). I didn't reduce the sugar amount. I baked it in a pyrex baking pan ontop of a linked baking sheet.

It's a great idea to "taste test" your berries before you figure out how much sugar to add; some of my berries required all the sugar and some were sweeter. I made this several times. You DO need the foil-lined cookie sheet. I used an 8" cast iron pan and it worked far better than a Pyrex dish or other glass dish; it cooked more evenly in the cast iron pan. It's a great presentation for company, serving it in the pan, too! Thanks so much for a great recipe!!

Very yummy! I didn't have granulated sugar, so I used brown sugar and it turned out great - I also added a pinch of nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and a splash of vanilla to the dough. I will make again (and I'll try white sugar)!
