Equipment
- 1 3-quart Baking Dish
- 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Set of Measuring Cups and Spoons
- 1 Rubber Spatula or Pastry Brush For greasing the baking dish
Ingredients
Main
- 1/2 stick butter melted, plus more for greasing pan
- 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- Whipped cream and/or ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 3-quart baking dish with butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk 1 cup sugar with the flour and milk. Whisk in the melted butter.
- Rinse the blackberries and pat them dry. Pour the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the top of the batter. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over the blackberries. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 1 hour. When 10 minutes of the cooking time remains, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over the top. Top with whipped cream or ice cream . . . or both!
Notes
For best results, use fresh, ripe blackberries as they offer superior flavor and texture compared to frozen. If using frozen, do not thaw them; sprinkle them directly onto the batter and extend baking time by 5-10 minutes if needed. Ensure the batter is smooth and lump-free before adding the berries. The staggered sugar application is crucial: the initial sprinkle caramelizes with the berries, while the final addition creates a beautiful, crisp top crust. Always serve cobbler warm, allowing the accompanying whipped cream or ice cream to melt slightly, enhancing the overall experience.
