Description
Blackberry cobbler with a biscuit topping. From Alissa at Yummy Dishes.
Ingredients
- 6 cups (720g) fresh or frozen blackberries
- 3/4 cup (150g) sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup (125g) flour
- 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
- 4 tablespoons (56g) melted butter
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss berries with 3/4 cup sugar, lemon, and cornstarch. Spread in a buttered 9×13 dish.
- Stir flour, the remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined.
- Spoon the batter over the berries. It will not cover every gap.
- Bake 40 to 48 minutes until the top is golden and the filling bubbles at the edges. Rest 15 minutes.
Notes
Frozen berries can go in frozen. Add 5 minutes if the dish was cold. Do not thaw them first or the filling floods the batter.

Blackberry, not peach
Peach cobbler is already on this site. The method is similar. The fruit is not.
Substitutions
Half raspberries works. A pinch of cinnamon in the batter is optional.
Mistakes to avoid
A watery filling means the cornstarch was skipped or the berries were very thawed.
Storage
Room temperature 1 day, refrigerator 4 days. Reheat before serving.

FAQ
Fresh or frozen?
Both. Keep frozen berries frozen until they go in the dish.
Seeds?
They are part of blackberries. A fine strainer is not this cobbler.
Biscuit or cake topping?
This batter is a soft cobbler cake. It is not a pie crust.
How do I know it is done?
The topping is golden and the berry juices bubble thickly at the edge.
