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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) .
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
- 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
- Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter. Do not stir —this creates the magical crust that forms as it bakes.
- 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
- 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
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5–10 minutes before serving.
- 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.
