Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh blackberries rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch for thickening
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for topping
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking dish
  • Whisk
  • spoon or spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Combine the blackberries, 1 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl. Stir gently until the blackberries are evenly coated and the mixture is slightly thickened. Transfer the berry mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes or until the mixture starts to bubble around the edges.

  2. Meanwhile, prepare the topping by combining the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined, creating a thick, spoonable batter.
    1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, 1/2 cup milk
  3. Remove the berry mixture from the oven once it is bubbling and slightly thickened. Drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the hot berries, covering most of the surface but allowing some to peek through for a rustic look. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.

  4. Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 10 minutes. The top should be crisp and golden, while the berries underneath are soft and saucy. Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.

There you have it—a luscious, simple blackberry cobbler that’s perfect for any occasion! For an extra cozy touch, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
