Oh yes—Blackberry Cobbler 🍇✨—warm, sweet, juicy, with a buttery crust. Here’s a classic, foolproof version.
Blackberry Cobbler
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- ¾ cup sugar (adjust if berries are tart)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)
For the topping (biscuit-style):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
- ⅓ cup milk (or heavy cream for richer topping)
- Optional: ½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Prep the filling:
In a bowl, toss blackberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Pour into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish. - Make the topping:
In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk (and vanilla if using) to form a soft dough. - Assemble:
Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the berries. It’s okay if some fruit peeks through. - Bake:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake 35–40 minutes, until topping is golden and filling is bubbly. - Serve:
Let cool slightly. Perfect with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips & Tricks
- Juicier filling: add a splash of orange juice or a tablespoon of liqueur.
- Extra sweet topping: sprinkle sugar on top before baking.
- Frozen berries: no need to thaw; add 5–10 extra minutes to bake.
- Rustic look: don’t worry about spreading topping evenly—cobbler charm is in the uneven peaks!
I can also give a brown-butter, ultra-rich cobbler version that tastes bakery-level amazing if you want to elevate it.
Do you want me to do that?
