Follow the easy steps below or watch the short video tutorial or do both!

Step 1: Ingredients and Tools

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of All-Purpose Flour/Plain flour (120g)
  • 1 cup of Sugar (200g)
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (114g)
  • 1 cup of milk (237ml)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (2g)
  • 1 tbsp of baking powder (14g)
  • 3 to 3 1/2 cups of blackberries
  • A few pinches of cinnamon
  • A few pinches of nutmeg

Tools:

  • 13x9 inch pan, or smaller if you want the blackberry cobbler fatter.
  • Spatula
  • Cooking spray
  • Bowl
  • Whisk

Step 2: Make the Batter

Preheat the oven to 375 F/190 C

This cobbler batter is super simple to make. In a medium to a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Then pour in the milk and mix. Use a whisk or wooden spoon to mix it all together. And voila, the batter is ready to go.

If you like you can add a few pinches of cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter.

Step 3: Into the Pan

Take an 8x11 to 9x13-inch pan and lightly spray the sides with cooking spray. Then melt the butter either in the microwave or on the stovetop and pour it onto the bottom of the pan.

Now pour the cobbler batter right on top of the melted butter. Spread it out as necessary with a spatula, but don't stir or mix it in with the butter.

Tip: For a thicker cobbler use a smaller pan like the 8x11 pan. I kind of like this cobbler on the thinner side most of the time, so I usually use my 9x13-inch pan.

Step 4: Blackberries and Bake

Now evenly sprinkle the fresh blackberries on the top. Or you can use thawed-out frozen blackberries. Follow that up with a few pinches of cinnamon and nutmeg. Although those are optional.

Bake in the middle rack position for 35 to 45 minutes until the top is nice and golden brown. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve plain, with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream, or topped with whipped cream, whatever you like. Enjoy!

Tip: Make it like this the first time, and then if you find it to be a little too sweet, reduce the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup or even 1/2 cup.
