Servings: 6
Equipment
- 9x13 inch casserole dish
Ingredients
Blackberries
- 36 ounces blackberries
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Cobbler Topping
- 1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup +1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Blackberries
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Lightly spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Wash and pick through berries, discarding any bad ones and removing any stems or leaves.
- Add the berries to the casserole dish. Sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch. Stir to coat and place the berries in the oven while preparing the cobbler topping.
Cobbler Topping
- Add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Cut butter into chunks, use a pastry blender or knives to cut the butter into the flour. The flour and butter will become a crumb texture.
- Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to stir together until the milk is absorbed and no white streaks of flour remain.
- Remove the berries from the oven after at least 10 minutes. Add dallops of dough to the top of the berries. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out and cover as much of the berries as possible. (Does not need to be perfect).
- Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until berries are bubbling and juicy and topping is golden brown and not doughy.
- Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
