Homemade Blackberry Cobbler

Description

Savor homemade blackberry cobbler—sweet, juicy blackberries under a buttery, golden crust. A delightful dessert perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups fresh blackberries: These juicy fruits are the star of the dish. They add sweetness and a tart flavor that contrasts wonderfully with the crust. Fresh blackberries yield the best results, but you can also use frozen blackberries if fresh ones are unavailable.
  • 1 cup sugar: This ingredient is essential for sweetening the blackberries as they macerate and helps form a delightful syrup during baking.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour: The flour forms the basis of the batter, providing structure and texture to the cobbler.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder: The leavening agent ensures that the batter rises and becomes fluffy, creating a perfect contrast with the tender blackberries.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt: A pinch of salt amplifies the sweetness of the dish and balances the flavors beautifully.
  • 1 cup milk: Milk adds moisture to the batter, allowing it to blend smoothly and bake into a cake-like consistency.
  • 1 stick of unsalted butter, melted: Butter contributes richness and flavor, creating a delicious crust that pairs perfectly with the juicy filling.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the blackberries: In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups fresh blackberries and 1 cup sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 25-30 minutes to allow the blackberries to macerate, releasing their juices and creating a delightful syrup.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for the cobbler when it’s time to bake.
  3. Make the batter: In another bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup milk. Stir the mixture until thoroughly combined. Then, pour in 1 stick of melted unsalted butter and stir until the batter is smooth.
  4. Assemble the cobbler: Grease a baking dish lightly (no need for excessive grease!) and pour the batter into the dish, spreading it evenly. This forms the base for the blackberry topping.
  5. Add the blackberries: Carefully pour the macerated blackberries with their syrup over the batter, spreading them evenly on top. Do not stir; the blackberries will settle into the batter during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is set, with bubbling juices around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  7. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to settle.
