Simple Blackberry Cobbler Recipe

In this post I am sharing an old fashioned Simple Blackberry Cobbler Recipe.
 
One of my favorite memories growing up was picking summer blackberries. Those prickly vines grow everywhere and when the fruit is ripe, folks get to picking.
 
I recall being scratched more than a few times too while picking one of the favorite fruits of summer. It is such a reward and worth it for a bounty of those ripe blackberries.

Old Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler Recipe

What are some of your favorite recipes with blackberries? We love blackberry jam, blackberries and biscuits, blackberry grits and of course this cobbler.

Here’s what you’ll need to make this dessert:

  • Fresh Blackberries (about 2 cups) , frozen will work thawed
  • Butter
  • Self Rising Flour
  • Milk
  • Vanilla
  • 1 c Sugar for batter + 2 tsp to coat berries
Fresh Blackberries
 
 
Start with your fresh blackberries, rinsed and picked through to remove any stems added to a bowl. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sugar over the berries and let them sit for half an hour.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the recipe. Did you use self-rising flour? Also, if you want double, I recommend cooking this in two pans, not one dish. ~Julia
