Description
A classic Southern dessert made with juicy blackberries, a buttery self-forming crust, and just the right amount of sweetness. This old-fashioned blackberry cobbler is baked to golden perfection and best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided: 1/2 cup for berries, 1/2 cup for batter)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the butter in a 9×13-inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while preheating.
- In a bowl, mix the blackberries with 1/2 cup of sugar. Let them sit while preparing the batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth.
- Once the butter is melted, remove the dish from the oven. Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir.
- Spoon the blackberries and their juices evenly over the batter. Do not stir.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
