Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Blackberry Cobbler:
### Blackberry Cobbler
#### Ingredients:
– 4 cups fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
– 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added flavor)
– Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (for serving, optional)
#### Instructions:
1. **Preheat Oven**: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. **Prepare Blackberries**: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the blackberries with 1/2 cup of sugar. If using lemon juice, add it now. Set aside.
3. **Make the Batter**:
– In another bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
– Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined and smooth.
4. **Assemble**:
– Pour the batter into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish or a similarly sized cast iron skillet.
– Evenly spoon the blackberries and their juices over the batter. Do not stir; the batter will rise up around the fruit as it bakes.
5. **Bake**: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
6. **Cool and Serve**: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy your homemade Blackberry Cobbler!
