Ingredients
-
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1 cup milk
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
-
¼ cup additional sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up while you prepare the batter. Place the butter in your baking dish and let it melt in the oven.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
Pour the milk into the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. It should have a thin, pourable consistency.
Remove the baking dish with melted butter from the oven. Pour the batter directly over the butter but do not stir — this creates the cobbler’s signature layered texture.
Evenly scatter the blackberries over the batter. As it bakes, the batter will rise up around the berries, creating a golden crust. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top for a slightly crisp finish.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly. The berries should be tender and juicy, and the crust lightly crisped.
Allow the cobbler to rest for 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the perfect finishing touch.
