How to Make Old Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler

1️⃣ Prep the Oven & Dish

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Pour melted butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish (or an 8×8-inch for a thicker cobbler).

2️⃣ Make the Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together:

  • Flour

  • Sugar

  • Baking powder

  • Salt

  • Milk

Pour the batter over the melted butter — don’t stir!

3️⃣ Add the Blackberries

Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the batter.
Again, do not stir — the batter will rise around the berries as it bakes.

4️⃣ Bake

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbly.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

Let cool slightly.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.


Tips & Variations

  • Too tart? Add a bit more sugar to the berries before baking.

  • Crispier top: Sprinkle a little extra sugar on top before baking.

  • Fruit swap: Try peaches, blueberries, raspberries, or a mix!


Storage

Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
