Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh blackberries
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and generously coat an 8x12 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray for easy removal.
- Rinse blackberries gently under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels...Set aside.
- Whisk together 1 cup sugar, flour, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Add melted butter to batter mixture and whisk until well combined, and you see no streaks throughout.
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread evenly across bottom using a rubber spatula for best results.
- Scatter blackberries evenly over the batter surface, letting them sink slightly into the mixture as they naturally will settle.
- Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup sugar over blackberries to create a crackly topping that will turn golden when baked.
- Bake 40-50 minutes until top is golden brown and bubbly around edges with a crispy texture on the surface.
Notes
- Store covered in the fridge up to three days for best quality and flavor.
- Don't freeze because the crispy topping becomes soggy when you thaw it out.
- Use any 3-quart baking dish if you don't have the exact size specified.
- Double the recipe by making two separate cobblers instead of one large batch.
- Self-rising flour substitute: 1 cup flour plus 1½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 20 seconds to warm through perfectly.
