Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
Fruit Topping
- 16 ounces blackberries
Topping
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (or granulated sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃) and grease a 2-quart baking dish to ensure the cobbler does not stick.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the whole milk and the melted butter into the dry ingredients, then whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and fully blended.
- Pour Batter: Transfer the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly for a uniform base.
- Top with Blackberries: Evenly scatter the fresh blackberries over the batter, distributing them to cover the surface well, then sprinkle with coarse sugar to add a sweet, crunchy topping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the batter is set, and the top turns a golden brown color indicating it is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow it to set slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blackberries; if frozen, do not thaw before using to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- For a richer flavor, whole milk is recommended, but you can substitute with 2% milk if preferred.
- Butter should be melted and slightly cooled to prevent cooking the batter when mixed.
- Coarse sugar adds a delightful crunchy topping but can be replaced with regular granulated sugar if unavailable.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
