What is Cobbler?
Cobbler is a simple dessert that often consists of assorted fruits with a crisp layer made from homemade batter. It is similar to a pie, but you do not necessarily have to slice it. You can use a serving spoon to serve it. It is the perfect dessert to have after dinner.
What You’ll Need to Make Blackberry Cobbler
When preparing Blackberry Cobbler, you will only need a few ingredients, including:
- Blackberries. These berries are the star of the show, so make sure you have plenty of them!
- Unsalted Butter. Melt your butter down before using it in this recipe.
- Granulated Sugar. Use the granulated sugar to add an extra sweetness to your cobbler.
- All-Purpose Flour. The flour is what you will use to create a sweet crust for your cobbler.
The other ingredients needed include baking powder, salt, and buttermilk. If you do not have buttermilk, you can use traditional cow’s milk as a replacement for it.
How Many Servings Will It Make?
The Blackberry Cobbler recipe serves six to eight people, depending on the serving size for each person. If you need to serve more people than that, double the recipe or make two separate cobblers for your loved ones to enjoy.
Can I Use Salted Butter?
No, it is not a good idea to use salted butter in this recipe because it can alter the taste of your cobbler, leaving it saltier than you would like. Be sure to grab unsalted butter and melt it down before you use it.
What to Do If I Do Not Have Buttermilk
Not having buttermilk is no problem. Traditional milk works just as well with this recipe. If you would still like to use buttermilk, you can make it yourself by combining your milk with white vinegar or a bit of lemon juice before using it to prepare this recipe.
Can I Add Other Berries to the Cobbler?
You can add other berries to the cobbler. The blackberries will go great with raspberries and blueberries, both of which have such a naturally great taste. The more, the merrier!
Is It Better to Use Fresh or Frozen Blackberries?
You can use fresh or frozen blackberries in this recipe. If you are unable to find frozen blackberries, head over to the berry section at your local grocery store to find fresh blackberries that will taste great when used to make the cobbler.
What to Add to the Blackberry Cobbler
You can add a dollop of whipped cream to each piece of the Blackberry Cobbler. The whipped cream tastes delightful with the fresh berries and gives the cobbler even more favor. You might also want to serve the cobbler with a side of vanilla ice cream. Some people like to put the cobbler directly on top of the ice cream, getting some cobbler and ice cream with each spoonful!
How to Keep Your Cobbler Fresh
Keep the Blackberry Cobbler fresh by wrapping it in plastic wrap and putting it in the refrigerator. If you would like to save space, you can always put the remaining cobbler in a food storage container and keep it sealed with an airtight lid. Refrigerate your cobbler for up to four days. If you need to save it any longer than that, you can freeze the cobbler for up to three months.
Recipe Tips
Make sure your blackberries are dry before you start mixing them with other ingredients, such as the melted butter, sugar, and flour. You can dry the blackberries off with a paper towel, patting them gently to absorb any excess moisture. When pulling your Blackberry Cobbler from the oven, place it on a wire rack to help it cool down a bit faster before you serve it.
