Blackberry season is here! So it’s only natural that our thoughts turn to those sweet juicy berries. I put them to good use by making homemade blackberry cobbler goodness in a snap!
Picking Blackberries… or Dewberries?
Dewberries are a type of blackberry that produces slightly smaller berries on a thorny vine growing along the ground instead of larger berries growing upright on canes as blackberries do.
I like to go out early in the morning when it’s still cool and collect buckets of the delicious dewberries that grow wild here. Harvesting wild dewberries is a perfect example of .
But for simplicity in this post & recipe I’ll just call them blackberries.
Tip For Freezing Blackberries
I’ll bring the harvested berries inside, give them a quick wash and spread them on a towel to dry.
Then l flash-freeze them on a cookie sheet, placing the frozen berries in a freezer bag & back into the freezer. That way the berries stay separated and I can use my measuring cup to scoop out the frozen berry measurement I need for my recipes.
One of my favorite recipes for foraged blackberries is cobbler. I’d asked my sister-in-law for her recipe years ago. I used it as a base for this blackberry cobbler recipe.
Blackberry Cobbler Simple Ingredients
My recipe only has 5 ingredients and serves 4. It’s the perfect size for us. But you can double it for more servings.
The recipe is beyond easy and with oh-so-simple ingredients:
4 Tablespoons butter,
¾ cup sugar & 2 Tablespoons additional sugar to sprinkle on top.
½ cup self-rising flour,
½ cup buttermilk,
2– 3 cups berries,
I love a recipe with simple ingredients, don’t you??!!
Do You Really Need Self-Rising Flour?
YES! This recipe calls for self-rising flour. The recipe wont’ turn out right if you use all-purpose flour instead.
How To Make Your Own Self-Rising Flour
If you don’t have the right kind of flour in your pantry, don’t worry! You can easily Make Self-Rising Flourin seconds using all-purpose flour.
The typical ratio I use to make a full cup of self-rising flour is in the graphic below:
But Since You Need Only ½ Cup Of Self-Rising Flour For This Cobbler Recipe You’ll Use:
½ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Then you just use this flour mixture in place of the half-cup of self-rising flour called for in the recipe. Easy!
Blackberry Cobbler Quick-Mixing Directions
Mixing up this homemade cobbler was super quick.
In my 6″x8″ casserole dish:
Melt 4 Tablespoons butter in acasserole dish.
In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup each sugar, self-rising flour and buttermilk.
Pour batter on top of the melted butter.
Sprinkle 2 – 3 cups of blackberries on top of the batter (depending on how heavily you want your cobbler fruited)
(BAKER’S NOTE: In my opinion this cobbler is best with lots of berries, so that’s what I recommend and show in the recipe below! #dontjudgeme!)
Sprinkle ¼ cup sugar on top of the berries.
Place the cobbler in a 350-degree oven for 35 minutes.
Bring out of oven & sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar on top of the berries, returning cobbler to the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
And voila – a homemade dessert that can win my man’s heart all over again!
