Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh blackberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the fresh blackberries in a large mixing bowl, toss them with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and the lemon juice. Set aside to let the berries release their juices, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

In the meantime, place the unsalted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Put the dish in the preheated oven to let the butter melt fully, then remove carefully.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 5

Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the baking dish with the melted butter. Do not stir; the butter will naturally come up the sides.

Step 7

Evenly spoon the blackberries and their juices over the batter. Again, avoid stirring.

Step 8

Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
