Easy Homemade Blackberry Cobbler Recipe
Looking for an easy cobbler recipe? Well, look no further! This homemade blackberry cobbler is simple to make and will have everyone at your backyard barbecue talking. Whether you choose to bake it in a Dutch oven or in your oven at home, this cobbler is sure to be a hit.
To make this delicious cobbler, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour
- 2 cups of sugar
- A pinch of cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 stick of Kerrygold butter
- 2 ¾ cups of blackberries
- Whipped cream or ice cream (optional)
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees if baking indoors. If using a Dutch oven, pre-warm it to melt the butter, but avoid preheating the cast iron to prevent scorching.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Mix well until you have a thick pancake-like batter. In the Dutch oven or baking dish, melt the butter and pour the batter on top. The batter should be thicker than pancake batter for a better set-up.
Next, scatter about 4 cups of blackberries evenly over the batter. Gently mash some of the blackberries into the batter to release their juices. Finally, add the remaining blackberries on top.
Cover the Dutch oven or baking dish with the lid and place it on a trivet with hot coals underneath. If using a Dutch oven, rotate the lid and the bottom every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
After about 12-13 minutes, you'll notice some browning on the outside edges. Give the cobbler a jiggle to test if it's set up. If the middle is still jiggly, continue cooking until it's fully set.
Once the cobbler is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool before serving. If desired, sprinkle some brown sugar on top and bake for an additional 10 minutes for a crunchy crust.
Serve the homemade blackberry cobbler with whipped cream or ice cream for a perfect summer dessert. Enjoy the delicious flavors of fresh blackberries and cobbler crust, and impress your guests with your baking skills!
Please note: If the bottom of the cobbler is burnt, it's best to avoid serving it to prevent any unpleasant flavors. The batter rises over the fruit filling, creating a cake-like ratio that sets up as it cools.
We hope you enjoy making and eating this easy homemade blackberry cobbler.
