Homemade Kentucky Blackberry Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- Optional: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). - Prepare the blackberries:
In a bowl, mix the blackberries with 1/2 cup of the sugar (adjust based on the sweetness of the berries). Let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices. - Make the batter:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth. - Assemble the cobbler:
Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish. Pour the batter over the butter, but do not stir. Spoon the blackberries and their juices evenly over the batter. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool and serve:
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious dessert.
