Bursting with juicy blackberries and topped with a golden, buttery crust, this classic cobbler is a timeless dessert that tastes like summer in every bite. Whether served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or enjoyed cold the next day, it’s the kind of rustic, comforting treat that never goes out of style.
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)
For the cobbler topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup whole milk or buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
- Make the filling: In a medium bowl, toss the blackberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using). Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla until just combined—do not overmix.
- Assemble the cobbler: Spoon the batter evenly over the blackberries. It’s okay if some berries peek through—the batter will spread as it bakes.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy !
