How to Make the Best Blackberry Cobbler Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Blackberry Cobbler: Fresh or frozen blackberries, all purpose flour, granulated sugar, melted butter, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, milk, egg, vanilla extract, large egg and vanilla ice cream for serving.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Two medium bowls, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, a 13 x 9 inch baking dish, rubber spatula and spoon for dropping the blackberries into the batter.
• To make the cobbler super juicy, you may opt to crush 1/2-1 cup of additional blackberries and add them to the filling. When doing so, the batter will absorb the color from the juice.
• When choosing the best blackberries, choose berries that aren’t crushed or bruised and firm when gently squeezed. Also, look for mold or anything that looks as if the berries may be old. If there are stains on the packaging the blackberries are breaking down and likely aren’t fresh.
• You can use frozen blackberries in this recipe. They should be thawed prior to using.
• Expect some of the berries to burst while baking. This is normal and isn’t an indication that anything went wrong.
• Blackberry Cobbler is best made and eaten straight from the oven while fresh. Should you have any leftover, you can reheat leftovers in the microwave in single serving portions.
• You can store this cobbler for up to 3 days chilled in the refrigerator.
