Description
Blackberry cobbler blends sweet, juicy berries with a buttery, golden crust for a quintessential Southern dessert. Comforting flavors and simple ingredients make this homestyle treat perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, liquefied
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), preparing a warm environment for the cobbler’s transformation.
- Melt the salted butter directly in an 8-inch square baking dish, creating a rich, golden base.
- Whisk together granulated sugar and self-rising flour in a mixing bowl, creating a smooth foundation for the dessert.
- Gradually incorporate milk and vanilla extract into the flour mixture, stirring until a consistent batter forms.
- Pour the silky batter into the butter-lined baking dish, ensuring even distribution.
- Gently toss blackberries with the remaining sugar, coating each berry in sweet crystals.
- Delicately spread the sugared blackberries across the batter’s surface, allowing them to nestle naturally.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven, letting the heat work its magic for 50-60 minutes.
- Watch for a golden-brown crust and softened fruit, indicating the cobbler has reached its peak perfection.
- Remove from the oven and let rest briefly, then serve warm with a luxurious scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.
Notes
- Pour melted butter evenly across the baking dish to create a crispy, golden base that prevents sticking and adds rich flavor.
- Dust blackberries lightly with flour before adding sugar to prevent them from sinking and ensure even distribution throughout the cobbler.
- Allow cobbler to rest 15-20 minutes after baking to let the filling set, which helps achieve a perfect texture and prevents runny consistency.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free blend for celiac-friendly version, and use coconut sugar or stevia for lower-glycemic alternative without compromising delicious taste.
