Blackberry Cobbler – oh boy!
Blackberry Cobbler Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups of blackberries, rinsed and dried
- 1/2 stick of butter (melted)
- 1 cup of self-rising flour
- 1 cup of sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the 1/2 stick of butter in a 9×13” baking dish in the preheating oven.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, 1 cup of sugar, milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Once the butter is melted in the baking dish, carefully remove it from the oven. Pour the batter mixture over the melted butter in the dish.
- Scatter the blackberries evenly over the batter. Sprinkle some additional sugar over the top of the blackberries.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbly.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
here are some tips to enhance your Blackberry Cobbler recipe:
- Freshness Matters: Use fresh, ripe blackberries for the best flavor. If fresh blackberries aren’t available, you can use frozen ones, but thaw and drain them first.
- Adjust Sugar: Taste your blackberries before adding sugar. If they’re particularly sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe to balance the sweetness.
- Butter for Richness: Don’t skimp on the melted butter in the baking dish. It adds richness and flavor to the cobbler, so make sure it’s evenly distributed across the bottom of the dish.
- Even Distribution: When scattering the blackberries over the batter, try to distribute them evenly so every bite has a delicious burst of fruitiness.
- Customize Flavors: Feel free to customize the flavor of your cobbler by adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth and depth.
- Texture Variation: For a textural contrast, you can mix some oats or chopped nuts into the batter before pouring it into the dish. This adds a nice crunch to the cobbler.
- Serve with Accompaniments: While the cobbler is delicious on its own, serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream takes it to the next level of indulgence.
- Storage and Reheating: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, simply warm individual portions in the microwave or oven until heated through.
With these tips, your Blackberry Cobbler will be even more irresistible! Enjoy baking and savoring this delightful dessert.
