For the Flaky Biscuit Topping:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk or buttermilk

For the Blackberry Filling:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • If using fresh blackberries, rinse and pat them dry. If using frozen, thaw and drain excess juice.
  2. Make the Biscuit Topping:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, ⅓ cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
    • Cut in ½ cup cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    • Gradually add ½ cup milk or buttermilk, stirring until just combined.
  3. Prepare the Blackberry Filling:
    • In another bowl, combine 4 cups blackberries, ⅔ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice (if using). Mix gently to coat the berries.
  4. Assemble and Bake:
    • Pour the blackberry mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish.
    • Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the berries.
    • Optional: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the top for extra sweetness.
    • Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  5. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the cobbler cool slightly on a wire rack.
    • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For a thicker filling, add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch.
