What You’ll Need

• Blackberries: about 600 grams, fresh is best for that juicy pop.
• Sugar: 100 grams, just enough to sweeten things up but not overwhelm.
• Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon, a little zing to brighten those berries.
• Plain Flour: 200 grams, the base for that lovely cobbler topping.
• Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon, to help it rise and get nice textures.
• Butter: 100 grams, cold and chopped up, it creates flakiness.
• Milk: 100 milliliters, to bring the dough together.
• Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon, for that autumn spice kick.

Easy How-To

Let’s Get Started!

First up, grab those beautiful blackberries. Toss them into a large bowl with the sugar and that dash of lemon juice. You wanna gently mix them until they’re all coated and shiny. Just let them sit for a bit to, um, macerate. While those are getting all juicy, go ahead and preheat your oven to about 180°C (350°F), because we want it nice and ready for the cobbler magic.

Now, in another bowl, mix your flour, baking powder, and sugar. Then, take your cold butter and rub it in using your fingers until it looks kinda like breadcrumbs… trust me, it’ll give you that dreamy texture later. Pour in the milk and stir quickly… you don’t wanna overdo it. It’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy, that’s good!

Grab a baking dish and transfer those macerated blackberries right in. Then, just spoon the cobbler dough over them, trying to spread it out a bit evenly. So… just plop it on top and let it be. Now, pop it in your preheated oven and bake it for about 30 to 35 minutes until that topping is beautifully golden and, um, cooked through.

When it’s done, and oh boy, the smell will be intoxicating… just let it cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s fantastic warm with a scoop of ice cream or crème fraîche, just saying!

Good to Know

• If you can’t find blackberries, don’t sweat it—raspberries or blueberries work just as well!
• Adjust the sugar to your taste; if you like it a bit more tart, feel free to cut back.
• Leftovers? Store them in an airtight container and eat them within a few days—but good luck making it last!

Serving Ideas

• Try serving it warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, it’s just heavenly.

Top Tricks

• If your blackberries seem a bit tart, a sprinkle of extra sugar can really, really help balance things out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blackberries for this recipe?

Yes, absolutely, frozen blackberries will work! Just make sure to thaw them and drain off any excess liquid first—they can get a little watery otherwise.

How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?

Look for that lovely golden color on top, and you’ll want to see the fruit bubbling around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out clean. You want that perfect cook!

Can I substitute other fruits instead of blackberries?

Sure, go wild! Blueberries, raspberries, even peaches could work. Just adjust the sugar for sweetness as needed.

How should I store leftover cobbler?

Keep your leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll last for a few days. Reheat when you’re ready for round two!

Can I make the cobbler ahead of time?

Definitely! You can prep the filling and the topping ahead of time. Just keep them in the fridge separately until you’re ready to bake—best results that way!
