Ingredients

Blackberry Base

  • 8 cups frozen blackberries or fresh (see note) 36 ounces
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

Crust

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk (I used skim milk)
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  • Spray a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Add the blackberries, 2/3 cup sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine well. Set aside and let rest.
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, beat together the room temperature butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the milk, then the egg, and then the vanilla.
  • Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. The dough batter will be very sticky.
  • Drop the dough on top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Remove from the oven. Let sit until no longer hot, but still warm (20 to 30 minutes) and serve with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

You can use fresh blackberries in this recipe, but keep in mind that will shorten the cooking time. At the 30 minute mark, keep an eye on your cobbler to make sure the crust doesn't get overcooked.
