Blackberry Cobbler Recipe

This Blackberry Cobbler is an easy and bubbly recipe, which is made with fresh blackberries and self-rising flour. It’s the ultimate comfort food dessert, ready in about an hour and 25 minutes.

Blackberry Cobbler Recipe Ingredients

• 1/2 stick butter, melted, plus more for greasing pan
• 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 cups fresh (or frozen) blackberries
• Whipped cream and/or ice cream, for serving

How To Make Blackberry Cobbler

1. Prep Oven and Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 3-quart baking dish (an 8×8 or similar size works well) with butter.
2. Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the sugar with the self-rising flour and the milk. Whisk in the melted butter until you have a smooth, thin batter.
3. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the top of the batter. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the sugar over the blackberries.
4. Bake Until Golden: Bake for about 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. During the last 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top to create a sparkling, crisp crust.
5. Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Recipe Tips

• Why is the batter on the bottom? This is a classic batter-style cobbler. As it bakes, the light, cake-like batter rises up and around the fruit, creating a gooey, fruity bottom with a golden cake topping. It’s magical!
• Can I use frozen blackberries? Yes, absolutely. Do not thaw the blackberries first; add them to the batter while they are still frozen. This helps prevent them from bleeding their color throughout the entire batter.
• How do you get a crispy topping? The secret is the final sprinkle of sugar during the last 10 minutes of baking. This creates a beautifully crisp, sweet crust that provides the perfect textural contrast to the soft fruit and cake.
• Do I have to use self-rising flour? For the easiest recipe, yes. If you don’t have any, you can make your own by whisking 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.

What To Serve With Blackberry Cobbler

This warm and bubbly dessert is a quintessential summer and fall treat. It is practically made to be served with something cold and creamy. The best pairings are:

• A big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream
• A dollop of freshly sweetened whipped cream
• A drizzle of heavy cream

How To Store Blackberry Cobbler

• Refrigerate: Cover the cooled cobbler with foil or plastic wrap. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, though the topping will soften over time.
• Reheat: For the best results, reheat individual servings in the microwave or place the entire dish, covered with foil, in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes until warmed through.

Description

A classic Southern dessert featuring juicy blackberries that bake into a sweet, cake-like batter, creating a bubbly fruit base with a golden-brown top.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups + 2 tbsp sugar, divided
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a 3-quart baking dish.
2. In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sugar, the flour, and the milk. Whisk in the melted butter to form a smooth batter.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the top of the batter.
4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the sugar over the blackberries.

Notes

• This is a batter-style cobbler, so the batter goes on the bottom and rises up around the fruit as it bakes.
• Do not overmix the batter; mix only until the ingredients are just combined for the most tender result.
• The final sprinkle of sugar during the last 10 minutes of baking is the secret to a perfect, crunchy topping.
• If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by whisking 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ tsp baking powder and ¼ tsp salt.
