Ingredients:

For the Blackberry Filling:

• 4 cups fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Cobbler Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Prepare the Blackberry Filling

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Gently toss everything together until the blackberries are coated in the sugar mixture.
2. Transfer the blackberry filling to a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe dish.

Step 3: Make the Cobbler Topping

1. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Pour in the melted unsalted butter, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until you have a smooth batter.

Step 4: Add the Cobbler Topping

1. Pour the cobbler topping batter evenly over the blackberry filling in the baking dish. It’s okay if it doesn’t cover every inch; the cobbler topping will spread as it bakes.

Step 5: Bake the Blackberry Cobbler

1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

1. Remove the blackberry cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
2. Serve the warm blackberry cobbler on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
