This blackberry cobbler is incredibly quick and easy to make - all it takes is 5 ingredients! The blackberries can be easily substituted by other fruit like apples or blueberries. I am already envisioning an apple cinnamon cobbler for the fall. We have a blackberry bush in our backyard that, in the past few years, has grown into a tangled mass of prickly branches with . Unfortunately, we don't make any effort to tame it or fertilize it, so the bush has become more a nuisance and a mosquito hideout, and the blackberries it produces are shrunken and sour. Last year, my father actually put on a nylon moonsuit suit (it's one of those things chemical engineers just have) in an attempt to brave the thorns and tackle the Blackberry Beast. This hot and humid summer has revived it - it's back and as prickly as ever. We should really take better care of it, though. With some TLC, blackberries are quite a delicious and healthy fruit, wouldn't you agree?
Blackberry Cobbler
1 cup self-rising flour (or substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt)
1 cup soymilk or milk
1/2 cup (but keep 1 Tbs for the end) white granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
~2 cups (or 12oz) fresh blackberries
Optional: 1 tsp of vanilla extract, lemon zest, orange zest or orange juice
Yields 8-12 servings.
Rinse the blackberries and dry them with a paper towel. In a bowl, gently mix the flour, sugar, milk, and melted butter. Pour mixture into greased pan. Top the mixture with the blackberries and an extra sprinkling of sugar (1 Tbs). Bake at 350 F for 55-60 minutes, until the cobbler is golden and boiling.
