Ingredients:
For the Blackberry Filling:
- - 6 cups fresh blackberries
- - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- - 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- *For the Biscuit Topping:
- - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- - 1/2 teaspoon salt
- - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- - 1/2 cup milk
For Serving (Optional):
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
2. Prepare the Blackberry Filling:
- In a large bowl, gently toss together the blackberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until the blackberries are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
3. Make the Biscuit Topping:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the biscuit topping.
- Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
4. Top the Blackberry Filling:
- Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the top of the blackberry filling, covering it as much as possible.
5. Bake the Cobbler:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the biscuit topping is golden brown.
6. Serve Warm:
- Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the blackberry cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Whipped cream, if desired.
