Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups fresh blackberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (filling)
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (topping)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup whole milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Position the rack in the center.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the blackberries with 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture and work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour in the cold milk and stir gently until just combined.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the blackberry filling and sprinkle with additional sugar.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling bubbles.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter and milk cold for flakier biscuits. Don't skip the lemon juice for brightness. Let the cobbler cool for 15 minutes to thicken the filling.
