Ingredients
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- ¾ cup sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit Topping
- 2 ½ cups blackberries (up to 4 cups if preferred for a fruitier cobbler)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized ovenproof dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ¾ cup sugar, and baking powder until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir the milk into the dry mixture gently until just combined. Then, mix in the melted butter and vanilla extract, ensuring an even batter without overmixing.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking dish. Arrange the blackberries evenly on top of the batter layer, followed by a light sprinkling of additional sugar to enhance sweetness and help with caramelization during baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the cobbler turns golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes. This rest time helps the cobbler set and makes serving easier. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- You can increase the quantity of blackberries up to 4 cups if you prefer a more fruit-forward cobbler.
- For a crispier topping, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on the berries before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and are delicious reheated.
- Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter can add a warm spice flavor.
