Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh blackberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the blackberries and let them drain. If they are extra tart, lightly toss them with 1-2 tablespoons of sugar and set aside.

Step 3

In a 10- or 12-inch cast iron skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and set the skillet aside.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is smooth.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the skillet. Do not stir; the batter will naturally spread as it bakes.

Step 6

Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the batter. If desired, lightly dust the top with cinnamon for added flavor.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and puffed.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the cobbler cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. The juices will thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
