Blackberry Cobbler is a delicious and easy dessert that highlights the sweet and tart flavors of fresh blackberries. With a buttery, golden crust and juicy berry filling, this cobbler is perfect for serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to enhance the flavor of the berries)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized cast iron skillet.
  2. Prepare the Berries:
    • In a medium bowl, toss the blackberries with 1/2 cup of the sugar. If you’re using lemon juice, add it now. Set the berries aside to macerate while you prepare the batter.
  3. Make the Batter:
    • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    • Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is fine.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
    • Spoon the blackberries and their juices over the batter. The batter will rise up around the berries as it bakes.
  5. Bake the Cobbler:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
  6. Serve:
    • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

  • If you prefer a sweeter cobbler, you can increase the sugar in the batter or sprinkle a bit of sugar over the top before baking.
  • For a more textured topping, you can sprinkle some coarse sugar or cinnamon sugar over the batter before baking.
  • This cobbler can be made with other berries or a mix of fruits if you don’t have blackberries on hand.

Blackberry Cobbler is a simple, rustic dessert that’s full of juicy fruit and buttery crust. It’s easy to make and perfect for showcasing fresh summer berries or enjoying a taste of summer year-round.
