Homemade Blackberry Cobbler

A warm, juicy blackberry cobbler with a buttery, golden-brown biscuit topping—perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries

• ½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

• 1 tbsp cornstarch (or flour, for thickening)

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

For the Biscuit Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ¼ cup granulated sugar (+ 1 tbsp for sprinkling)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed

• ¼ cup buttermilk (or milk + ½ tsp vinegar)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prep Filling:

   • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

   • In a bowl, gently toss blackberries with sugar, lemon juice, zest, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt.

   • Pour into a 9-inch baking dish (or cast-iron skillet).

2. Make Topping:

   • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

   • Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter (or fingers) until crumbly.

   • Stir in buttermilk and vanilla until just combined (don’t overmix).

3. Assemble & Bake:

   • Drop spoonfuls of dough over the blackberries (leave gaps for steam).

   • Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sugar for a crispy top.

   • Bake 35–40 mins until bubbly and golden.

4. Serve Warm:

   • Let cool slightly, then serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips:

• Frozen Berries? No need to thaw—just bake 5–10 mins longer.

• Extra Flavor: Add cinnamon or a splash of bourbon to the filling.

• Gluten-Free? Use a 1:1 GF flour blend.

Enjoy your sweet, tangy, buttery cobbler! 🍇😋
