Blackberry Cobbler

Here’s a delicious Blackberry Cobbler recipe for you:

Ingredients

Filling:

• 4 cups fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into small pieces)
• 1/4 cup boiling water

Optional:

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and flour. Stir gently until the blackberries are well coated.
   • Pour the blackberry mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized ovenproof dish.
3. Make the Topping:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add the cold, cut butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Pour in the boiling water and stir just until the mixture comes together.
4. Assemble the Cobbler:
   • Drop spoonfuls of the topping mixture over the blackberry filling. It’s okay if some of the blackberries are exposed.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbly.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the cobbler to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set a bit.
   • Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
