Ingredients

• ½ cup melted butter
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 ½ cups sugar
• 1 cup milk
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) .
2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour , sugar , milk , and vanilla extract . Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

1. Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
2. Pour the batter over the melted butter. Do not stir —this creates the magical crust that forms as it bakes.
3. Evenly distribute the blackberries over the top of the batter. Gently press them slightly into the batter if needed, but avoid stirring.

Step 4: Bake

1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes , or until the top is golden brown and set. The edges will be bubbly, and the center should no longer look wet.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

1. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5–10 minutes before serving.
2. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Tips for Success

• Use fresh or frozen berries : If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter. This prevents excess liquid from making the cobbler soggy.
• Adjust sweetness : If your blackberries are particularly tart, you can increase the sugar by ¼ cup to balance the flavors.
• Customize the fruit : Swap blackberries for blueberries, raspberries, or a mixed berry blend for variety.
• Make it gluten-free : Substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free self-rising flour blend.

Serving Suggestions

• Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.
• Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy dessert experience.
