Ingredients
  

For the Blackberry Filling

  • 6 cups fresh blackberries
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

For the Topping

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
  • 0.5 cup milk whole milk recommended

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, gently combine the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour (or cornstarch), lemon juice, and salt. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Making the Topping

  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for the topping.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in the milk until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the blackberry mixture in the baking dish, leaving some gaps for the filling to bubble through.

Baking

  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and thickened. If the topping browns too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set.

Notes

For an extra touch, sprinkle a tablespoon of coarse sugar over the topping before baking for a sparkling, crisp crust. This cobbler is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
