Baking: Blackberry Cobbler

Last summer when my daughter and I picked blueberries and blackberries, we froze them for some delightful dishes in the winter. Eating blackberries transports me back to summer… when I lounged in the pool and was a little sun burnt… okay I don’t lounge but imagine I do… On New Year’s Eve, I made this blackberry cobbler.

1. Macerate the blackberries with one cup of sugar. I just love using the word macerate… it makes me sound smart. Let the blackberries stand for 20 minutes or until syrup forms.

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees

3. In a large bowl, mix 1 c. flour, 2 t. baking powder, 1/2 t. salt and 1 cup of milk.



4. Stir in 1/2 c. melted butter until thoroughly blended.


5. Spread in an ungreased 8 inch square pan. I am a little of a rebel so I put it in a pretty dish I liked….




6. Spoon blackberry mixture over the batter.

7. Bake 45 to 55 degrees or until dough rises and is golden brown.


Serve warm.. with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

I know, this dish undoes my New Year’s resolution but it is heavenly.
