Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600 g) blackberries (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (130 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk (or milk plus 1 teaspoon vinegar/lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups (600 g) blackberries, ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Gently toss to coat the berries evenly and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (130 g) all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 4 tablespoons (56 g) cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry mix. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter. Do not overwork.
  5. Stir in ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined. Adjust consistency with a bit more flour or buttermilk if needed.
  6. Pour the blackberry mixture into a greased 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the blackberry filling, leaving gaps for steam to escape.
  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through and the blackberry juices are bubbling.
  9. Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold butter to keep biscuit topping flaky. Do not overmix biscuit dough to avoid toughness. If biscuit topping browns too fast, tent with foil halfway through baking. Let cobbler rest briefly to thicken juices before serving. Frozen blackberries can be used if thawed and drained. Buttermilk can be substituted with milk plus vinegar or lemon juice.
