1½ cup all-purpose flour
1½ Tablespoon sugar, plus 1 Tbsp more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold cut into ½" cubes
½ cup heavy cream, very cold
¼ cup buttermilk, very cold plus 1-2 Tablespoons more for brushing top of biscuits

Toss berries, sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt together in the prepared baking dish. Dot with butter.

In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
With a pastry cutter or two forks, cut in the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse meal (pea-sized pieces)
Slowly drizzle in cream and buttermilk and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Using a large spoon scoop small biscuit sized balls and drop onto the berry mixture.
Continue with all of the dough, scattering evenly across the top of the berries, until mostly covered, spacing about 1" apart.
Brush the top of the biscuit dough with the remaining 1-2 Tbsp buttermilk and sprinkle generously with sugar.
Bake the cobbler for 35-40 minutes. The filling should be bubbly and the biscuits should be deep golden brown.
Remove from oven and cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream

Store any leftover cobbler for up to 3 days, covered, in the refrigerator. You can reheat in the oven at 300°F for about 10-15 minutes
If you don't have buttermilk you can use all cream

If you don’t have buttermilk on hand it’s easy to make a substitution:

The ratio: 1 Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to every 1 cup of regular milk. Mix together and let stand for a few minutes
