Old Fashioned Homemade Blackberry Cobbler

Summer time is the best time of the year to bake this sweet and tarty Blackberries. If you cannot find fresh Blackberries around you, you can replace with frozen Blackberries as well.

The best part is you donot even have to thaw frozen blackberries before use to make a cobbler.

Its such a simple and rustic recipe where you skip the lattice top of a pie and simply top with tablespoons of biscuit dough over the berry filling.

What makes a Cobbler a Cobbler?

Simple and easy homemade Blackberry Cobbler is simply tossed with sugar and topped with biscuit like topping which when gets baked resembles like a cobbled stone street - hence the name - "Cobbler"

Typically its baked fruits or berries with golden biscuits like topping swimming over it. It looks really cute!

Many people top with a cake like topping or Bisquick topping.

However I love it the old fashioned way!

Ingredients

for the berry filling

  • Blackberries - You can use fresh or frozen Blackberries. Donot thaw of you're using frozen Blackberries
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Cornstarch - this helps in making the fruit filling below the cobbler a bit thick
  • Lemon Juice - this makes the filling so tasty!
  • Ground Cinnamon - for that amazing old fashioned taste

for the cobbler

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Baking Powder - leavening agent for the biscuits
  • Cold Butter - I use cold grated butter. That way when it bakes in the oven the butter melts gradually resulting in beautiful golden crust
  • Buttermilk - Buttermilk acts like a leavening agent that helps the biscuits rise and fluff.
  • Coarse Sugar - to sprinkle on top
  • Kosher Salt - to season the biscuits

See recipe card for quantities. Watch the video for a quick visual.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 375F
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the Blackberries, Sugar, ground cinnamon, Lemon Juice, and Cornstarch. Cook for 3-4 min. Smooth out the berries into a single layer.
  • In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, add Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder, and Butter and beat until combined over low speed for 2 min. Next add the buttermilk gradually and mix until the mixture is coarse and comes together when clumped together. (Or combine Butter, Flour , Baking Powder, and Sugar in a mixing bowl using a pastry blender and then add the buttermilk and fold until you have a dough like mixture)
  • Spread the topping a tablespoon at a time over the berries. Press slightly down with your hands. Sprinkle some coarse sugar on top.
  • Bake for 35-40 min or until the top gets deep amber color and the berries are bubbling. Serve after 5-10 min with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.

Notes

Adding Coarse sugar over the cobbler before baking is optional. It just improves the texture of the cobbler topping.
Allow the baked cobbler to cool down for 5-10 min before you serve. Cooling it down will thicken the berry mixture.
You can add Raspberries and blueberries as well to this.
If you;re using frozen Blackberries, don ot thaw them before use. Dump them directly int he skillet and cook until mushy.
