    Easy Southern Blackberry Cobbler

    This recipe takes the super easy, lazy southern blackberry cobbler and makes it so much better! I have found the standard poor man's cobbler recipe just a little too gummy, but with a little extra flour and a little spice, this turns into an exceptional cobbler recipe!

    This incredibly easy blackberry cobbler recipe comes together in just minutes, tastes amazing, and has the most wonderful cakey texture!

    Why you will love this recipe:

    Cobbler is the ultimate summer dessert and takes all the best fresh fruits of the season and bakes them with sweet cake. I also love a biscuit-style cobbler like this Blueberry Cobbler, but it doesn't get simpler than this cobbler! You can use fresh, frozen, or canned blackberries, BUT it's best with fresh fruit. This is very similar to this Peach Cobbler, which is also a must-try. 

    Ingredients for the blackberry cobbler on a pink table.

    Key Ingriedients: 

    Self Rising Flour: self-rising flour like White Lily or Weisenberger Mills has salt and rising agents mixed in with the flour. This means you don't have to add any additional ingredients like baking powder.  

    Butter: butter provides flavor and structure to the cake. One stick of butter is melted in the baking tray while the oven preheats so that it can be nice and hot when the batter is added. This helps to create that crispy crust!

    Milk: The milk adds both moisture and flavor to this recipe. 

    Blackberries: blackberries make this cobbler! I highly recommend using fresh berries, but frozen would also work!

    How to make this recipe:

    This recipe was made to be easy, so there are just a few steps!

    1. Place the butter in the baking tray and place it in the oven to melt while the oven heats.
    2. Whisk the self-rising flour and allspice in a medium bowl. Add in the milk, vanilla, and whisk until no lumps are left. Poor on top of the butter. 
    3. Do not mix with the butter. This helps create a crispy top!
    4. Layer the blackberries on top of the batter.
    5. Bake!

    Tips for success! 

    • Do not mix your batter with the butter. Not mixing creates a crisp and browned crust. 
    • This is a sweet recipe if you want something more toned down. Lower the sugar.
