I had every intention of publishingthis postas a blackberrycobbler but sometimes my ideas go a little cockeyed. I made thecobbler last weekend and liked it a lot, especially the biscuit but decided to change things a little. I'm a big white chocolate lover so adding that was a no-brainer and it seems that I'm also adding rosemary to everything these days because it's my thing.
I mentioned making the actual cobbler recipe at the weekend, it was for dinner with some friends including four kids. When I served it up to the kids they liked it but I heard more ooo's and ahhhh's for the biscuit topping. I asked my daughter on the way home again how it was and she verified that it was good but the biscuit was "the best daddy" so I had to go with my kid focus group.I had to agree, the crunchy, sugary biscuit topping was pretty tasty but I still wanted the blackberry flavor. Some blackberry preserves and a handful of fresh berries were the answer. Swirled through the dough with the white chocolate chips made these drop biscuits perfect for breakfast or just pairedwith a latte.
This dough will feel soft, so don't over work it. If it seems too sticky just add a little more flour and keep them quite close to each other on the baking tray. That will help them from spreading too far. You could use any kind of preserves if blackberry doesn't move you, raspberries would be amazing too. I can't wait until next summer when strawberry shortcakes are in season because this is the perfect biscuit for them!
