Here’s a classic and easy recipe for a Blackberry Cobbler—warm, sweet, and perfect for dessert:
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
For the filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste if berries are very sweet)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)
For the topping (biscuit-style):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup milk (or more if needed)
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch (if using).
- Pour the mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish or similar.
- Make the Topping:
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with milk, then stir into the flour mixture to form a soft dough.
- Assemble the Cobbler:
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the blackberry filling. Don’t worry about covering all the fruit; gaps are fine.
- Bake:
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
- Serve:
- Let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of cream.
💡 Tips:
- Frozen berries work well—just thaw and drain excess liquid to avoid a soggy cobbler.
- Sprinkle a little sugar on top of the dough before baking for extra crunch.
- You can substitute blackberries with mixed berries for a variation.
