Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the blackberries and let them drain. If they are extra tart, lightly toss them with 1-2 tablespoons of sugar and set aside.
In a 10- or 12-inch cast iron skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and set the skillet aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the skillet. Do not stir; the batter will naturally spread as it bakes.
Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the batter. If desired, lightly dust the top with cinnamon for added flavor.
Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the cobbler cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. The juices will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
