dessertOld-Fashioned Southern Blackberry Cobbler
Old-fashioned Southern blackberry cobbler is a beloved dessert that captures the heart of Southern tradition. Made with ripe, juicy blackberries and a buttery, soft, and fluffy crust, this classic treat combines the tartness of the berries with a sweet, golden topping. Often served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, it evokes the comfort of home-cooked meals and family gatherings.
Ronnie WilliamsIngredients
- 4 cups Blackberries
- 1/2 cup White granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Melted butter
- 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups White granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt or kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Melted butter
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 375 Degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2Rinse the blackberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place them in a mixing bowl. Pour melted butter over the top and mix well. Sprinkle blackberries with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss blackberries until they are evenly coated.
- 3In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together then stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined. It is ok if it is slightly lumpy. Do not over-stir it.
- 4Pour the prepared blackberries into a greased baking dish, spreading them evenly. Pour the batter over top of the berries until it is evenly distributed.
- 5Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- 6Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool on a cooling rack for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

Quick Tips
- 1
Melt the butter first
Pour 1/2 cup melted butter into the hot baking dish, then add the batter on top without stirring. The batter rises through the butter and bakes up crisp at the edges.
- 2
Let the berries sit
Toss blackberries with the sugar and let them stand 15 to 20 minutes so they give up juice before baking.
- 3
Use cornstarch for thick juice
A teaspoon or two of cornstarch stirred into the sugared berries keeps the filling from running off the spoon.
- 4
Cool before serving
Give the cobbler 20 minutes out of the oven so the filling sets up, then spoon it warm over ice cream.
