Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh blackberries
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, 100 grams of sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir gently to ensure the blackberries are evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 50 grams of sugar. If using, add the ground cinnamon for a touch of warmth and spice.

Step 4

Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the cold butter cubes into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the milk and vanilla extract together. Gradually pour this into the flour-butter mixture and stir until a slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Using a spoon, drop dollops of the dough over the blackberries, leaving some gaps to allow steam to escape and juices to bubble through.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry mixture is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of cream for the perfect dessert.
