Pear and blackberry cobbler

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Pile the pears and blackberries into an ovenproof dish about 26cm x 18cm. Sprinkle over 50g sugar, the cinnamon and the cornflour. Gently stir together to mix.

2. Put the flour in a food processor, add the butter and 100g sugar, and whizz for a few seconds until crumbs form. Add the buttermilk and whizz briefly until a squidgy dough forms.

3. Scatter clumps of the dough over the fruit – don’t cover completely. Sprinkle the rest of the sugar over and bake for 40 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping pale-golden.
