The Pioneer Woman’s Blackberry Cobbler Recipe

Introduction

This Blackberry Cobbler from The Pioneer Woman is a simple, comforting dessert that combines sweet, juicy blackberries with a tender, cake-like topping. Perfect for anytime you want a warm treat, it’s especially delightful served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups sugar (divided)
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup milk (whole milk is best)
• 1/2 stick butter, melted (4 tablespoons)
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries, rinsed and patted dry
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar with the self-rising flour.
3. Step 3: Stir in the milk, then add the melted butter. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
4. Step 4: Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 9 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
5. Step 5: Scatter the blackberries evenly over the top of the batter; they will sink in as it bakes.
6. Step 6: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of sugar over the berries, reserving 2 tablespoons of sugar for later.
7. Step 7: Bake for 50 minutes, then remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar on top.
8. Step 8: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
9. Step 9: Serve the cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips & Variations

• Use frozen blackberries directly from the freezer to prevent a mushy texture; do not thaw before baking.
• For homemade self-rising flour, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Try mixing in a handful of sliced peaches or blueberries for a fruity twist.

Storage

Store leftover cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit until heated through, about 10-15 minutes. The topping may lose some crispness but will still be delicious.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other fruits instead of blackberries?

Yes, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, or a berry mix work well in this cobbler recipe and can be used interchangeably with blackberries.

What if I don’t have self-rising flour?

You can make your own by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. This substitutes perfectly in the recipe.

Instructions

1. Prepare the berries: If using frozen blackberries, keep them frozen until ready to use to avoid a mushy texture.
2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up while preparing the cobbler.
3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar with the self-rising flour thoroughly.
4. Add wet ingredients: Stir in the milk and then the melted butter into the flour and sugar mixture. Mix until everything is well combined into a smooth batter.
5. Assemble the cobbler: Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 9 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Add the blackberries: Evenly distribute the blackberries over the batter. They will sink during baking to create delicious fruit pockets.
7. Sprinkle sugar: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of sugar evenly over the top of the berries, reserving 2 tablespoons for later.
8. Bake the cobbler: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Then remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top.
9. Finish baking: Return the cobbler to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
10. Serve: Serve the blackberry cobbler warm, topped with vanilla ice cream if desired for an extra comforting dessert.

Notes

• For a homemade self-rising flour substitute, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• If using frozen berries, do not thaw before adding to the cobbler to maintain texture and prevent a watery consistency.
• The baking dish should be greased to prevent sticking; butter or non-stick spray works well.
