An easy mixed berry cobbler made with fresh or frozen berries and a buttery brown sugar topping that bakes up golden and lightly crispy on the outside while staying soft and tender underneath.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 1- to 1 & 1/2-quart baking dish.
Spread the berries evenly in the prepared pan. Drizzle with the lemon juice.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
Reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Drop pieces of the dough evenly over the berries, leaving some of the fruit exposed.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and the berry juices are bubbling around the edges.
Cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Notes
Berries: Use any combination of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries totaling 3 cups. Cut larger berries into smaller pieces.
Using frozen berries: There's no need to thaw them first. The cobbler may be a little juicier and may need a few extra minutes of baking time.
Yield: Makes 6 servings but can be portioned to give 4 generous servings.
To double: Double all of the ingredients and bake in a 9x13-inch pan. The baking time should be similar, but add a few minues if needed.
Store the leftovers tightly covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat it covered in a 350ºF oven or warm up individual portions in the microwave.
