Ingredients
2 ½ cups blackberries
¾ cup granulated sugar (for the filling)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup granulated sugar (for the batter)
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, toss blackberries with ¾ cup sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and ¾ cup sugar.
4. Stir in milk and vanilla extract until smooth and lump-free.
5. Pour melted butter into the prepared dish.
6. Gently pour batter over the butter—do not stir.
7. Spoon blackberry mixture (including juices) over the batter. Again, do not stir.
8. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
9. Let cool for 15–20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Don’t stir the layers—keeping them separate creates the classic cobbler texture.
Let it rest before serving to allow the juices to thicken and set properly.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a cozy, warm flavor boost.
