Ingredients

For the Filling

• 5 cups fresh or frozen blackberries (the star of blackberry recipes)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 6 tbsp cold butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup milk

How to Make Blackberry Cobbler

1. Prep – Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9 baking dish.
2. Make the filling – Mix blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch. Pour into the dish.
3. Make the topping – Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk until just combined.
4. Assemble – Drop spoonfuls of dough over the berries. No perfection needed, this is easy blackberry cobbler, not a beauty contest.
5. Bake – 35-40 minutes until golden and bubbly. Try not to eat it straight from the oven (we won’t tell).

Juicy blackberries bubble beneath a golden, buttery crust—crisp on top, tender underneath. Each spoonful is a warm hug of sweet-tart berries and melt-in-your-mouth biscuit, best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream slowly pooling into the cracks. This cobbler is summer’s sticky fingers, dessert plates licked clean, and that irresistible moment when the spoon cracks through the crisp topping into the jammy fruit below.
