Ingredients
  

Blackberry Cobbler
  • 4 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar divided
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • whisk
  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

Preparing the Blackberries
  1. Gently wash and dry the fresh blackberries.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the blackberries with 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and set aside while you prepare the topping.
Making the Topping
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Pour in the milk and melted butter; stir everything together until just combined, forming a thick batter.
  3. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Assembling and Baking the Cobbler
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Pour the blackberry mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. Spoon the topping mixture over the berries, spreading it gently to cover as much of the fruit as possible.
  4. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly.
  5. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat. You can adjust the sugar content based on the sweetness of your blackberries. If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them beforehand; simply add them to the mixture and increase baking time by 5-10 minutes if needed.
