Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar 2-quart casserole dish.
In a large bowl, prepare the berry filling. Combine the marionberries, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Toss gently until the berries are evenly coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, prepare the dry ingredients for the topping. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.
Pour the cold buttermilk into the flour and butter mixture. Use a fork to stir just until a shaggy, soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; a few dry spots are perfectly fine.
Assemble and bake the cobbler. Drop large spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the berry filling, leaving some space between them for the filling to bubble up. Sprinkle the coarse sugar evenly over the dough. Place the dish on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. This crucial step allows the filling to set and thicken. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Substitute half of the marionberries with other berries like raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon or orange zest to the dry ingredients for the biscuit topping for a brighter flavor.

Cobbler is best enjoyed the day it's made. You can prepare the filling and the dry mix for the topping separately a day in advance. Store the filling covered in the fridge and the dry mix at room temperature. When ready to bake, combine the wet and dry topping ingredients, assemble, and bake as directed.
Cover the cooled cobbler tightly and store it at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warm.
A runny filling is usually caused by not letting the cobbler cool long enough. The cornstarch needs time to set as the cobbler cools. It could also mean not enough cornstarch was used, especially if the berries were extra juicy.
