Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh blackberries
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, 100 grams of sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir gently to ensure the blackberries are evenly coated. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 50 grams of sugar. If using, add the ground cinnamon for a touch of warmth and spice.
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the cold butter cubes into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract together. Gradually pour this into the flour-butter mixture and stir until a slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Using a spoon, drop dollops of the dough over the blackberries, leaving some gaps to allow steam to escape and juices to bubble through.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry mixture is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of cream for the perfect dessert.
