A simple and nostalgic blackberry cobbler featuring juicy blackberries beneath a tender, flaky biscuit topping, perfect for summer gatherings and easy weeknight desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) cold buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter your baking dish lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss 4 cups of blackberries with 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter and cut into the flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently just until combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the blackberry filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the berries, leaving small gaps between dollops.
  6. Bake on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Keep butter cold and mix biscuit dough just until combined to avoid tough biscuits. Chill dough for 10 minutes if kitchen is warm. Tent with foil if topping browns too fast. Rotate pan halfway through baking for even browning. Let cobbler rest before serving to thicken filling. Reheat leftovers in oven to maintain biscuit texture.
