Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Blackberries
In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh blackberries with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently toss the mixture until the blackberries are evenly coated.
Step 3: Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 4: Transfer Blackberries to Baking Dish
Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Step 5: Make the Cobbler Batter
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Then, stir in milk and melted butter until just combined.
Step 6: Pour Batter Over Blackberries
Carefully pour the cobbler batter over the blackberries in the baking dish. Do not stir; allow the batter to float on top of the fruit.
Step 7: Bake the Cobbler
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Note 1: Berry Alternatives
You can substitute blackberries with other berries such as blueberries, raspberries, or even a mix of berries.
Note 2: Adjustment for Sweetness
Depending on the ripeness of the berries, you may want to adjust the amount of sugar used in the recipe.
Note 3: Leftovers and Storage
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
