Raspberry Walnut Cobbler

Submitted by Fisher Nuts

"This is such a great all-American recipe and I love the tart raspberries against the flavors of the rich walnuts. I serve this with the nuts sprinkled on top at the last minute. This touch adds a great texture and a last minute burst of flavor. Of course, I love it with ice cream but find that a raspberry sorbet or raspberry sorbet swirled with vanilla ice cream is also fabulous."

ingredients

• Topping

• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
• 1⁄2 cup (4 oz.) sour cream
• 1⁄4 cup (2 oz.) heavy cream
• 1 cup Fisher® Walnut Halves and Pieces, divided

• The filling

• 3 1⁄2 pints raspberries, divided
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• The zest and juice from 1 large lemon

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Make topping: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Add the butter and work it into the dough with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream. Coarsely chop 3/4 cup of the walnuts and stir them inches Roll the dough on a flat, floured surface to about 1 inch in thickness. Use a round cutter about 2 inches in diameter to cut as many circles as possible. Refrigerate the dough.
3. Make the filling and bake the cobbler: Toss 3 pints of the raspberries with the sugar, cornstarch, the lemon juice and half of the lemon zest. Pour half of them into a 10-inch cast iron skillet or a 9 by 9-inch baking dish and top with the 1/2 cup of walnuts. Top with the remaining raspberry mixture. Place the biscuit circles over the raspberries. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the juices have thickened, about 45-50 minutes. The biscuit top should be browned and fully cooked. Cool. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 pint raspberries, and remaining 1/4 cup walnuts and lemon zest. Top with the raspberry walnut mixture just before serving for added fresh flavor and crunch!
