To prepare the crust, put the butter and sugar in the bowl of a heavy-duty
mixer and mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the yolks one at
a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the sour cream and mix well.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, and ginger and mix
well. Set aside.

To prepare the filling, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 2-quart
baking dish or eight 8-ounce individual gratin cups. Put the berries,
sugar, cinnamon, ginger, lemon, cornstarch, and butter in a large bowl and
toss to mix. Pour the filling into the baking dish, or divide among the
gratin cups, and top with the crust, gently spreading the dough to cover
the filling. Bake in the oven until the topping is golden brown and a knife
inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven
and cool for 10 minutes.

Spoon the warm cobbler into individual serving bowls. Top with a scoop of
ice cream, garnish with several mint leaves, and serve.
