Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the blackberry mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the fruit, leaving some gaps.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.
Notes
For best results, use ripe, firm blackberries. If using frozen berries, do not thaw completely. Do not overmix the dough to ensure a tender topping. Let the cobbler cool for 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
