Here’s a classic Old-Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler recipe—sweet, juicy, and perfect for a comforting dessert.
🥧 Ingredients (serves 6–8)
For the filling:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- ¾ cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For the topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- ⅓–½ cup milk (adjust for batter consistency)
Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
🥣 Instructions
1. Preheat oven: 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the filling:
- In a bowl, combine blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the topping:
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in melted butter and milk until a thick batter forms.
4. Assemble the cobbler:
- Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the blackberry mixture.
- The berries should peek through—don’t cover completely.
5. Bake:
- 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
6. Serve:
- Let cool slightly.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
🔥 Tips for Best Results
- Frozen berries: No need to thaw; just add a few extra minutes to baking time.
- Sweetness: Adjust sugar depending on the tartness of your berries.
- Extra flavor: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top before baking.
If you want, I can also give a quick 20-minute skillet version that’s easier but still captures that old-fashioned blackberry cobbler flavor.
