Of course I bake a pie every now and then, but in the summer when I buy too much fruit (if there even is such a thing) at the farmers’ market, what I really like to bake are cobblers, crisps and crumbles. So much easier than pie, IMO, and every bit as good, with whatever fruit you have in abundance. I took Dorie’s Cottage Berry Cobbler and, taking inspo from her “Playing Around” variation, swapped a combo of peaches and strawberries for the mixed berries. If you wonder what a “cottage cobbler” is, the cobbler biscuits here have cottage cheese in the mix…a sweeter take on the Cottage Cheese Biscuits we made last year. Diane pointed out a typo in the cobbler biscuit recipe, which I saw too late, so mine didn’t have quite the amount of flour they should have had. The cobbler was totally delicious anyway, but mine definitely looks like it came out of an old cottage kitchen oven…the biscuits didn’t hold the same modern, cool-looking and well-defined shape the photo in the book shows. There’s plenty of time left his summer to try again, though!

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan yet, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays! Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and all the other participation deets over on Tuesdays with Dorie!

It looks delicious! I’m with you on cobbler being easier than pie. I bet the thyme on top was a nice complement to the fruit.

To me, your cobbler looks cool enough and I’m sure it tastes great. Cobblers are so much easier and forgiving to bake. All the reason to bake another one soon again.

Ah, I missed the mistake in the recipe too, so my biscuit topping was not as crispy as it might have been. But as you say, still good!!
