Description

The Pioneer Woman’s Blackberry Cobbler is a delightful, easy-to-make dessert featuring a tender, buttery batter topped with juicy fresh or frozen blackberries. Baked until golden and bubbling, this cobbler pairs perfectly with vanilla ice cream for a warm, comforting treat that captures the essence of summer berries.


Ingredients

For the Cobbler Batter

  • 1 1/4 cups sugar, divided (1 cup + 2 tablespoons + 1/4 cup)
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 1/2 stick butter (4 tablespoons), melted

For the Topping

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries, rinsed and patted dry
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving


Instructions

  1. Prepare the berries: If using frozen blackberries, keep them frozen until ready to use to avoid mushiness and maintain the proper texture in the cobbler.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cobbler.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar with the self-rising flour, ensuring they are well integrated.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Stir in the milk followed by the melted butter, mixing until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour batter into dish: Grease a 9 x 9 inch baking dish lightly, then pour the batter evenly into the bottom, smoothing the surface gently.
  6. Add blackberries: Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the batter; they will sink slightly as the cobbler bakes, infusing the batter with berry flavor.
  7. Top with sugar: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of sugar uniformly over the fruit layer, reserving 2 tablespoons of sugar for later use.
  8. Bake initial stage: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes. After this time, remove it carefully from the oven.
  9. Finish the topping: Evenly sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar over the cobbler’s surface to create a sweet, crunchy crust.
  10. Final bake: Return the cobbler to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the top is a beautiful golden brown color.
  11. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm immediately, ideally topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream for a classic and delicious dessert experience.

Notes

  • For a homemade self-rising flour substitute, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • If using frozen berries, keep them frozen before adding; thawing can make the batter watery and affect texture.
  • This cobbler is best served warm with vanilla ice cream but also tastes great on its own.
