🍇 Warm & Sweet Blackberry Cobbler
(Serves 6–8)
Ingredients
For the filling:
-
4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
-
¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste if berries are tart)
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
2 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)
For the topping:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
-
⅓ cup milk (or as needed for dough)
-
Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Prepare the filling
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a medium bowl, combine blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using). Toss gently and pour into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. Make the topping
-
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in milk (and vanilla, if using) until a soft, sticky dough forms.
3. Assemble the cobbler
-
Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the blackberry filling. You can leave gaps so some berries peek through — it creates a rustic look.
4. Bake
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
5. Serve
-
Let cool slightly, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
💡 Tips
-
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the topping.
-
Frozen blackberries work perfectly; just thaw and drain slightly before using.
-
If you like a crispier topping, sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking.
This cobbler is sweet, juicy, and comforting — the perfect dessert for any season.
