Blackberry cobbler is a classic dessert that’s perfect for showcasing the sweet and tart flavors of fresh blackberries. Here’s a simple recipe to make a delicious blackberry cobbler:
Ingredients:
For the filling:
- 6 cups fresh blackberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust according to the sweetness of the berries)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
For the topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup boiling water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, gently toss together the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until the blackberries are evenly coated. Transfer the blackberry mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the boiling water over the flour mixture and stir until just combined. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
- Drop spoonfuls of the topping mixture evenly over the blackberry filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the blackberry cobbler warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Enjoy your homemade blackberry cobbler, and savor the flavors of summer!
