Blackberry Cobbler
Indulge in the warm, comforting flavors of a traditional Blackberry Cobbler, a timeless dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. This classic treat combines the sweetness of fresh blackberries with the crunch of a buttery, biscuit-like crust, all wrapped up in a golden-brown package.
Tips:
1. Freshness matters: Use fresh, ripe blackberries for the best flavor and texture.
2. Don’t overmix: Mix the batter just until combined to avoid a tough crust.
3. Butter is key: Use high-quality, salted butter for the best flavor.
4. Don’t open the oven door: Resist the temptation to check on the cobbler until it’s done, as this can cause the crust to sink.
5. Serve warm: Enjoy the cobbler warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
For The Berries:
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 6 cups fresh blackberries
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
For The Batter:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Guidelines:
- Oven Prep: Set the oven’s temperature to 350°F, or 175°C. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish very lightly.
- To prepare the berries, mix the cornstarch and sugar together in a small basin.
- Put the blackberries in a mixing dish, cover with the cornstarch mixture, and drizzle with melted butter.
- Spread the blackberries onto the prepared baking dish after giving them a good toss to coat them evenly.
- To prepare the batter, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl until well combined.
- Add the milk, vanilla, and melted butter and stir until well blended but not completely smooth.
- Over the berries in the baking dish, pour the batter.
- Bake: Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the berries are soft, in a preheated oven.
