Description
This Blackberry Cobbler is a simple yet flavorful dessert that combines juicy blackberries with a golden, buttery crust. The berries are sweetened and thickened with sugar and cornstarch, creating a luscious filling, while the easy-to-make batter forms a soft, crispy topping. This cobbler is perfect for any occasion and pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or ice cream.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Berries:
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 6 cups fresh blackberries
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Batter:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Berries:
- In a small bowl, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
- Place the blackberries in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with the melted butter, and toss gently.
- Sprinkle the sugar-cornstarch mixture over the berries and stir until evenly coated.
- Spread the blackberry mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Batter:
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is just combined, but still slightly lumpy.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the batter evenly over the blackberry mixture in the baking dish.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the berries are bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Frozen Blackberries: If using frozen blackberries, ensure they are fully thawed and drained before adding them to the recipe to avoid excess liquid.
- Sugar Adjustment: If your blackberries are especially sweet or tart, feel free to adjust the sugar amount to taste.
