Ingredients

Browned Butter Cobbler Topping

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
Turbinado sugar for topping

Instructions

Browned Butter Cobbler Topping

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter, swirling pan occasionally until butter is a deep golden brown, about 3-5 minutes of cooking. Remove butter from heat, transfer to a small bowl, and chill 30-60 minutes in refrigerator until butter is solidified.
In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut in chilled browned butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until crumbly.
Pour buttermilk over flour mixture and gently fold until batter is just moistened. Place bowl in refrigerator to stay cold while you prep the filling.

Cherry Filling

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a round or square 9-inch pan or cast iron and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Spread cherry filling in an even layer in prepared pan. Set aside for moment.
Use a spoon to scoop heaping scoops of cobbler topping over blueberry filling. Sprinkle cobbler topping with a little turbinado sugar.
Bake cobbler at 350F 35-40 minutes until cherry filling is bubbly and cobbler topping is golden brown. Allow to cool several minutes before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
