The Ultimate Easy Blackberry Cobbler Recipe: A Sweet Delight!
Add Butter: Introduce the cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for creating a flaky topping that’s absolutely divine.
Boil & Mix: Pour ⅓ cup of boiling water into the mixture and stir until everything is just combined. The dough should be moist but not overly wet.
Layer the Filling: Spread the blackberry filling evenly at the bottom of your prepared baking dish. If you’re using fresh blackberries, you might want to sprinkle a little sugar over them to enhance their natural sweetness.
Top It Off: Spoon the dough over the blackberry filling, spreading it gently (it’s okay if it’s not perfectly even). Sprinkle the tablespoon of coarse sugar over the dough for a sparkling finish.
Bake: Place your cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Serve & Enjoy: Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s divine on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Pro Tips for Perfect Cobbler Every Time
Butter Is Key: Using cold butter and cutting it into the dry ingredients until you get pea-sized crumbs is crucial for that perfect crumbly topping.
