Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Warm your oven to 350F and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Gently toss 2 cups of fresh blackberries with ½ cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl, allowing the berries to release their natural juices.
- Whisk 1 cup flour, remaining ½ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a separate large mixing bowl.
- Pour 1 cup milk, ½ cup melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the dry ingredients, stirring until your batter becomes silky and smooth.
- Transfer the entire batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Distribute the sweetened blackberries across the surface of the batter, ensuring they are scattered uniformly.
- Slide the dish into the preheated 350F oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, watching for a golden-brown top and bubbling edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler rest for 15 minutes, allowing the texture to settle and flavors to meld together.
- Serve warm, scooping directly from the baking dish for a rustic, homemade presentation.
Notes
- Fresh, ripe blackberries create the best flavor and sweetness for this classic Southern dessert.
- Letting the blackberries sit with sugar for 10-15 minutes helps release their natural juices and intensifies the fruity taste.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a reliable gluten-free baking blend that has xanthan gum included.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to enhance the cobbler’s rich, comforting texture.
