Set to 175°C (350°F)
2. Prepare berries
In a bowl, mix blackberries with sugar, lemon juice, zest, and cornstarch
Let sit for 10–15 minutes to release juices
3. Make batter
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
Stir in milk until smooth
4. Assemble (classic method)
Pour melted butter into a baking dish
Pour batter over butter (do not stir)
Spoon blackberry mixture evenly on top (do not stir)
As it bakes, the batter rises around the fruit—this is the signature cobbler texture.
5. Bake
Bake 45–55 minutes until golden brown and bubbly
6. Cool slightly
Let rest 10–15 minutes before serving
Serving Ideas
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream
Or a dollop of whipped cream
Tips
If using frozen berries, don’t thaw (prevents sogginess)
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth
For a crispier top, sprinkle a little sugar before baking
