The ultimate expression of summer, this cobbler is filled with berries and stone fruit and topped with low-fuss sour cream biscuits.

Ingredients

------- For the biscuits:

1 cup Plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons Packed light brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder

1/4 teaspoon Baking soda

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (1/2 stick), frozen

1/4 cup Sour cream

2 tablespoons Heavy cream

------- For the filling

1/4 cup All-purpose flour

1/2 cup Packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup Granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 Vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped, seeds reserved

1 1/2 pounds Peaches, pitted and cut into sixths (about 5 cups)

12 ounces Blackberries (about 2 1/2 cups)

2 teaspoons Sour cream

1 tablespoon Coarse sanding sugar (can substitute granulated sugar)

Preparation

1. Heat the oven to 375°F and arrange the rack in the middle of the oven.

For the biscuits:

1. Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk to aerate and break up any lumps.

2. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate frozen butter into flour mixture and toss to coat. Smear in sour cream and heavy cream and, using your hands, knead until dough just comes together. Divide into six pieces and flatten into disks; cover and reserve in the refrigerator.

For the filling:

1. Mix together flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla seeds. Add peaches and blackberries and mix until fruit is evenly coated.

2. Turn fruit into a 2-quart baking dish and stagger biscuits evenly across the top. Brush tops of biscuits with sour cream and sprinkle with coarse sanding sugar.

3. Bake until mixture bubbles, peaches are tender when pierced with a knife, and biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving.

Cook's Notes

From the editors: "We like the combination of floral peaches with bright blackberries, but mix-and-match stone fruit and berries as you please. As with most cobbler recipes, this is even better when drizzled with heavy cream or served à la mode."
