Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 24 oz fresh blackberries Rinsed; can substitute with frozen blackberries
  • 1 cup white sugar For the filling
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch Used to thicken the filling
  • 3/4 cup water
For the topping
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp white sugar For the topping
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter, chopped finely 1 stick
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk Can adjust to keep topping moist

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with baking spray.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the blackberries and 1 cup of sugar over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture begins to bubble.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until combined. Add this mixture to the saucepan.
  4. Stir and bring the filling to a low boil. Let it cook for about 3-5 minutes until the filling thickens.
  5. Pour the thickened filling into the prepared baking pan and set aside.
  6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 tbsp. sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  7. Utilize a pastry cutter to cut the chilled butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
  9. Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the blackberry filling and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Serving
  1. Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of mint.
