Every summer, as the days get longer and the sun shines brighter, my family, neighbors, and friends gather for our annual summer potluck. Everyone brings a dish to share, and while the table is always overflowing with delicious homemade dishes, there is one dessert that everyone looks forward to year after year – my blackberry cobbler. Made with fresh, juicy blackberries and a buttery, golden crust, this cobbler is the perfect ending to any summer meal. Today, I am excited to share this beloved recipe with you all.
How to Prepare Blackberry Cobbler
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 6 cups fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch. Place the blackberries in a mixing bowl and drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the blackberries and toss until they are evenly coated. Spread the coated blackberries into the prepared baking dish.
3. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla until the mixture is combined but still slightly lumpy. Pour the batter over the blackberries in the baking dish.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the berries are tender and the crust is golden brown, approximately 55 to 60 minutes.
