Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sugar reserved for final topping
- 1/2 stick butter melted (equivalent to 4 tablespoons)
- 1 1/4 cups sugar plus 1/4 cup for sprinkling
- 2 cups blackberries fresh or frozen, rinsed and dried
- 1 cup milk whole milk preferred, but any type is suitable
- 1 cup self-rising flour see notes for a homemade substitute
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup sugar and the self-rising flour. Gradually stir in the milk, followed by the melted butter, mixing until the batter is smooth and cohesive.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish, ensuring an even layer. Evenly scatter the blackberries over the top of the batter; they will settle further during baking.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of sugar evenly across the surface. Bake the cobbler for 50 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar over the partially baked crust.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top develops a rich golden hue.
- Serve hot, accompanied by a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them prior to baking; this helps maintain a desirable texture.
For homemade self-rising flour, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt.
Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or peaches can be used as fruit alternatives or in combination.
To achieve a varied texture, consider adding a portion of the berries midway through baking.
