🫐 Blackberry Cobbler

Ingredients

For the filling:

• 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries

• ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste depending on berry sweetness)

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening)

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

For the topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

• ½ cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven:

   • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the filling:

   • In a bowl, mix blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla.

   • Pour into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish or similar ovenproof dish.

3. Make the topping:

   • In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   • Stir in melted butter and milk until just combined; batter will be slightly thick.

4. Assemble the cobbler:

   • Spoon the batter over the blackberry mixture in dollops. It doesn’t need to cover completely — it will spread while baking.

5. Bake:

   • Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden and a toothpick inserted in the topping comes out clean.

6. Serve:

   • Let cool slightly, then serve warm. Excellent with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips & Variations

• Extra flavor: Add ½ teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg to the topping.

• Juicier filling: Mix in a little orange zest or a splash of brandy.

• Gluten-free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

• Other berries: Can be made with blueberries, raspberries, or a mixed berry combination.
