🫐 Blackberry Cobbler
A classic Southern dessert—juicy berries baked under a soft, golden, biscuit-like topping.
🧾 Ingredients
🍇 Filling
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- ½–¾ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (helps thicken juice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
🥣 Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup melted butter
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the filling
- Mix blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch
- Pour into a baking dish (8×8 or similar)
2. Make the batter
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar
- Stir in milk and melted butter until smooth
3. Assemble
- Spoon batter over the berries (it doesn’t need to fully cover them)
4. Bake
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 35–45 minutes
- Top should be golden and berries bubbling
🍽️ Serve with
- Vanilla ice cream 🍦
- Whipped cream

🧠 Tips
- Frozen blackberries work just as well (don’t thaw fully)
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth
- Let it rest 10–15 minutes after baking so it thickens
⚠️ Nutrition note
Blackberry is rich in fiber and antioxidants, but cobbler also contains:
- sugar
- refined flour
- butter
So it’s best enjoyed as an occasional dessert, not an everyday food.
If you want, I can also give you:
- a low-sugar or diabetic-friendly version
- an old-fashioned biscuit topping version
- or a 1-bowl super easy cobbler recipe
