This Classic Blackberry Cobbler is a cozy

Step 3: Prepare the Cobbler Topping

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this liquid mixture into the flour-butter mixture and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

1. Spoon dollops of the topping over the blackberry filling. Don’t worry about covering every berry; the topping will spread and rise as it bakes.
2. For a slight crunch and sweetness, sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar if desired.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling around the edges. The aroma of baked blackberries and sugar will fill your kitchen—pure comfort in a dessert.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Let the cobbler cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to thicken slightly. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra cozy touch.

Tips for the Perfect Cobbler

• Juicy berries: If your blackberries are especially juicy, you can reduce sugar slightly to avoid an overly sweet filling.
• Frozen berries: No fresh berries? Frozen blackberries work beautifully—just thaw them first and drain excess juice if needed.
• Topping texture: For a lighter, biscuit-like topping, don’t overmix. For a denser, cake-like topping, stir a bit more to combine.

Why This Cobbler Feels So Cozy

There’s something about the combination of warm blackberries and golden topping that evokes comfort and nostalgia. It’s a dessert that doesn’t just taste good; it feels like a hug in food form. Perfect after a long day, paired with a cup of tea or coffee, or shared with family around the table, this classic blackberry cobbler is a timeless treat that never goes out of style.
