Ingredients
Scale
Butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Batter
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Fruit
- 2 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cobbler.
- Melt Butter: Melt the butter and pour it into a 9×9-inch baking dish, letting it evenly coat the bottom.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and milk. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Add vanilla extract if you choose to use it and mix lightly.
- Pour Batter: Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir or mix the batter with the butter; let it settle naturally.
- Add Blackberries: Scatter the blackberries evenly over the batter. Drizzle lemon juice on top if desired to add a subtle citrus brightness.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly, indicating the cobbler is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm, ideally topped with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Using self-rising flour ensures the cobbler has a light, fluffy texture without needing additional leavening agents.
- If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them before baking to prevent excess moisture.
- For a richer flavor, substitute milk with buttermilk or add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
- Letting the cobbler cool slightly helps it set and makes serving easier.
- This cobbler can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
