Description

This delightful Blackberry Cobbler from The Pioneer Woman is a classic, easy-to-make dessert featuring a luscious layer of fresh or frozen blackberries baked under a tender, buttery batter topping. Perfectly sweetened and lightly crisp on top, it’s best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a comforting, crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cobbler Batter

  • 1 cup self-rising flour (see notes for homemade version)
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar, divided (1 cup + 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons)

For the Fruit

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries, rinsed and patted dry

For Serving

  • Vanilla ice cream (optional)

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.
