Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375° with a rack in center of oven and another in lower third. In a medium bowl, toss apricots with ½ cup sugar, cornstarch and a pinch of salt. Fold in raspberries. Set mixture aside.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk flour, ¼ cup sugar, baking powder and salt. Rub butter into flour mixture with your fingers until it resembles coarse meal. Stir ¾ cup buttermilk into flour mixture just until combined.

Spread apricot mixture in an 8" square (or 11" × 7") baking dish. Using ¼ cup dough for each, shape dough into 9 biscuits, spacing evenly over fruit. Flatten biscuits slightly, brush with 2 Tbsp. buttermilk and sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. sugar.

Place dish on center rack. Bake for 50 minutes, or until biscuits are golden and juices are bubbling. Cool cobbler on a wire rack at least 15 minutes, and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
