Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cobbler bakes evenly and achieves that perfect golden crust.
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. This will help prevent the cobbler from sticking and make for easier serving.
Step 3: Prepare the Blackberry Mixture
In a small mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of sugar with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Whisk them together until they are well mixed. This mixture will help thicken the juices released by the blackberries during baking.
Step 4: Coat the Blackberries
In another mixing bowl, place the fresh blackberries and drizzle ¼ cup of melted butter over them. Gently toss the berries to coat them in the butter, then sprinkle the cornstarch and sugar mixture on top. Toss again until all the blackberries are evenly coated.
Step 5: Arrange the Berries
Transfer the coated blackberries into the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly. This will serve as the fruity base for your cobbler.
Step 6: Make the Batter
In a separate mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups of sugar, 2½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are fully incorporated.
Step 7: Combine Wet Ingredients
Next, add in 2 cups of milk, ¼ cup of melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until everything is combined, taking care not to overmix—some lumps are perfectly fine.
Step 8: Pour the Batter
Pour the batter over the arranged blackberries in the baking dish. The batter will float on top, creating a lovely crust as it bakes.
Step 9: Bake the Cobbler
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour. Keep an eye on it; the cobbler is ready when the crust turns golden brown and the berries are soft and bubbling.
Step 10: Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack until it reaches room temperature. This cooling step helps the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 11: Enjoy!
Serve the cobbler warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat. Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!
This Baron’s Blackberry Cobbler is sure to become a favorite, offering a delightful mix of sweet and tart, complemented by a rich, buttery crust. Perfect for any occasion, it’s a dessert that truly celebrates the flavors of fresh blackberries.
