Blackberry Cobbler

Hello, sweet friends! I have a delicious summery recipe to share with you today! With just a couple of weeks left of the summer, this is a great way to use all those fresh berries, and it’s such an easy, fuss-free recipe! I love comfort desserts like this, especially with fresh fruit in the summertime! I lightened up the original recipe slightly, but it’s still just as good. You could use a variety of berries, but I love the tart blackberries here. Here’s the recipe…

*Serves 6*

YOU WILL NEED
2 cups fresh blackberries
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 stick (4oz) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup milk (I use skim milk)
Vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream (or both!) to serve

.

DIRECTIONS

Begin by greasing your baking dish ( I usually use a 9-inch baking pan) and preheat your oven to 350 deg F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and 3/4 cup of sugar. Pour in the melted butter and milk, and whisk everything together until you have a nice smooth and creamy mixture. Then, pour it into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle on the blackberries, evenly distributing them over the batter. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar over the whole thing and bake for about an hour, or until the edges are lightly browned and the berries are juicy! Let cool for a couple of minutes, then serve warm with ice-cream and whipped cream! (*Note: I lightened up the original recipe by using skim milk and reducing the amount of sugar, so if you prefer a sweeter cobbler add extra sugar!)
