Equipment

  • oven
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • large bowl
  • medium bowl
  • whisk
  • pastry blender or fingertips

Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 6 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Topping

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 0.5 cup milk

For Serving

  • vanilla ice cream optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, gently combine the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix until the blackberries are evenly coated.

Prepare the Topping

  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the milk, mixing until a soft, shaggy dough forms.

Assemble and Bake

  • Pour the blackberry filling into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the dough topping over the blackberry filling, covering most of the surface.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Serve

  • Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving, and optionally serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the blackberry filling. If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them before mixing; they will release more juice during baking, potentially requiring an extra tablespoon of cornstarch. The cobbler is delicious served warm or at room temperature. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
