This delightful recipe combines juicy blackberries with a buttery, flaky crust that gives each bite a nostalgic feeling, reminiscent of Grandma's kitchen. With just a handful of ingredients and a quick preparation time, you'll have a fabulous dessert that pleases everyone.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blackberries or frozen, thawed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- salt a pinch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure that your cobbler bakes evenly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the blackberries, ½ cup of sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch, and gently mix to coat the berries, then set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining ½ cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt, then stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth to create a luscious batter that's both thick and comforting.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and carefully spoon the blackberry mixture over the top, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbly, with the batter rising around the blackberries to form a beautiful topping.
- Once baked, allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving.
