Most people are familiar with the fruit crisps crumbles. A cobbler is similar but with a biscuit-based topping. I take it one step further with this recipe and give it a lovely tangy taste by using sourdough starter or discard for this sourdough berry cobbler recipe. And don’t worry, you can do this recipe even if you don’t have an active sourdough starter by doing a quick ferment using buttermilk abs lupin flour.

Mix the fruit with the sugar and spices, and spread out on the bottom of a 10-cup baking dish.
Top with the cobbler biscuit dough. Brush the top of the biscuit with melted butter, then sprinkle on the gold erithrytol.
