Equipment

  • 9-inch baking dish (or equivalent size)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • For the Blackberry Filling:
  • 4 cups fresh blackberries or frozen, thawed
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • For the Biscuit Topping:
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cut into small cubes
  • ¾ cup whole milk

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Blackberry Filling:
  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish.
  • Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Gently toss to coat the berries evenly. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • Make the Biscuit Topping:
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • Cut in the Butter: Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add Milk: Gradually stir in the milk, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Assemble the Cobbler:
  • Top the Filling: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the blackberry filling, covering most of the surface. The dough doesn’t need to be perfectly spread out—it will spread as it bakes.
  • Bake the Cobbler: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling.
  • Serve:
  • Cool: Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
  • Serve: Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

Frozen Blackberries: If you use frozen blackberries, make sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid before using.
