2 1/2
cups fresh or frozen (thawed and drained) blackberries (do not use blueberries)
1
cup sugar
1
cup Gold Medal™ All-Purpose Flour
2
teaspoons baking powder
1/2
teaspoon salt
1
cup milk
1/2
cup butter, melted
Cream, whipped cream or ice cream, if desired
Instructions
Step
1
In medium bowl, stir together blackberries and sugar. Let stand about 20 minutes or until fruit syrup forms. Heat oven to 375°F.
Step
2
In large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and milk. Stir in melted butter until blended. Spread in ungreased 8-inch square pan. Spoon blackberry mixture over batter.
Step
3
Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until dough rises and is golden. Serve warm with cream.
A basic Blackberry Cobbler dough, which is like a drop biscuit, should be mixed with a light hand so it will rise up through the berry mixture and have a light texture. Mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
For this Blackberry Cobbler recipe, try adding 1/2 teaspoon of a warm baking spice—cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg or cardamom—to the cobbler dry ingredients for an aromatic edge. You can also stir a teaspoon of pure vanilla into the berries to enhance their natural sweetness.
Summer berries can take a basic cobbler beyond an everyday dessert. For a twist try our Blackberry Cobbler and crisp recipes, and add raspberries to the blackberries for a different flavor combination.
Try mixing grated lemon or lime zest in with the fruit before baking for a fresh flavor twist.
