How’s your summer going? It’s hot as hot here in Nashville. When I get up in the morning, my windows are dripping with condensation from the humidity and one would think I’d have to be a little crazy to turn my oven on to 425 degrees to make lemon ginger gluten free shortcake biscuits.
Actually, it’s quite a sane choice when faced with a big bowl of blackberries that we picked ourselves from a friend’s farm. If you’re in the Nashville area, drive south to Arrington Vineyards. Drive right past them a few miles and buy some of the best tomatoes and corn (and more) in the area from Burns Produce. Follow them on facebook to see up close or read about them here.
Usually I make blackberry cobbler in little jars or in cast iron pans with pie crust. Today I’m featuring short cake biscuit blackberry cobbler and it’s gluten free. The flavors of ginger and lemon pair perfectly with the blackberries. Just be aware that blackberries are one of the most tart berries but their unique flavor still makes them one of my favorite summer fruits.
I hope you love blackberry cobbler as much as I do. See below for all the different ways I’ve made cobbler so far.
Let’s connect on instagram, where I post lots of food pictures that never make it here. I also have a gluten free Pinterest Board and a Spinach Tiger Pinterest Board.
