Old-Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler

Here’s a classic, comforting take on old-fashioned blackberry cobbler—the kind with a buttery crust and juicy, slightly tart berries.

🍇 Old-Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler

Ingredients

For the filling:

• 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• Pinch of salt

For the batter/topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
2. Prepare the filling:
   In a bowl, gently toss blackberries with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
3. Make the batter:
   In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until smooth.
4. Assemble:
   • Pour melted butter into a baking dish (don’t stir).
   • Pour batter evenly over the butter.
   • Spoon blackberry mixture on top—again, don’t stir. The magic happens as it bakes.
5. Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
6. Cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm.

🍨 Serving Tip

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for that nostalgic Southern-style dessert feel.

If you want, I can show you variations (like biscuit-style cobbler, less sugar, or using other fruits).
