Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Large mixing bowl
• Wooden spoon
• 8 x 8 baking dish
• Oven
• Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups fresh blackberries, washed
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 stick of unsalted butter, melted

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Begin by combining the blackberries and sugar in a large bowl. Let this mixture sit for 25-30 minutes to allow the berries to macerate, releasing their juices.

Step 2: Preheat your oven to 375ºF.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and milk with a wooden spoon. Stir in the melted butter until the batter is smooth and combined.

Step 4: Pour the batter into a clean 8 x 8 baking dish, smoothing it out evenly. Do not grease the pan as there’s enough butter in the batter.

Step 5: Evenly distribute the macerated blackberries over the batter, including all the sugar.

Step 6: Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until the top is golden and the juices are bubbling.

Step 7: Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to serve.

Tips for Success

For the best results, use fresh blackberries and adjust the sugar to taste, especially if using particularly sweet or tart berries. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to ensure the juices thicken.
