Ingredients

Scale

For the Blackberry Filling

  • 2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Cobbler Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blackberries: In a mixing bowl, toss fresh blackberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let the mixture macerate slightly to draw out natural juices, forming a luscious syrupy base for the cobbler.
  2. Make the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk until the batter is smooth, slightly thick, but pourable.
  3. Melt Butter in Skillet: Place unsalted butter in an oven-safe skillet and melt over medium heat. Allow the butter to sizzle gently and spread evenly across the skillet’s bottom to form a golden crust underneath the batter.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the blackberry mixture evenly into the buttered skillet. Spoon the batter over the berries, covering most of the surface while leaving some berries visible.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling around the edges.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, ripe blackberries for the best natural sweetness and juiciness.
  • Use an oven-safe skillet, preferably cast iron, for even heat distribution and a perfect crust.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense crust; stir just until combined.
  • Allow the cobbler to rest for 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing and enhanced flavor.
  • Optionally sprinkle a little sugar over the batter before baking for a crisp, sweet topping.
