Instructions
Cherry Cobbler Filling
- In a large mixing bowl combine the cherries, first amount of sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Toss well. Set aside while creating the topping. NOTE: It is important to do this step first and let it sit while creating the topping so that pectin has a chance to start developing.
Air Fryer Cherry Cobbler Topping
- In your food processor, add the flour, cornmeal, second amount of sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Blend for a minute until well-combined. NOTE: If you do not have a food processor, put these ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine well.
- Add the butter cubes. Using the Chop settings, blend for a minute until the mixture becomes the consistency of small peas. If your food processor doesn't have a Chop setting, pulse until the right consistency. NOTE: If you do not have a food processor, use a pastry cutter to cut in the butter until the desired consistency.
- Add both quantities of buttermilk. Using the Dough setting, mix for two minutes, until thoroughly combined. If your food processor doesn't have a Dough setting, pulse until thoroughly combined. NOTE: If you do not have a food processor, use your hands to combine the dough.
- Flour the cutting board with cornmeal. Put the dough on the cutting board. Using your hands or a French rolling pin, roll the dough until it is 2.5 - 3 cms thick (1 - 1.5 inches).
- Using a cookie cutter, knife, or the opening of a jar, cut the dough into circles, squares, or any desired shape.
