Ingredients
COBBLER
- 24 oz fresh blackberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional but recommended)
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- 3/4 cup water
TOPPING
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, grated or finely cubed
- 1/3 - 1/2 cup cold buttermilk
Instructions
- Grease an 8 inch square baking dish.
- In a large saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, and cinnamon. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil.
- Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into fruit mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2-5 minutes or until thickened.
- Pour into prepared baking dish.
- For topping, in a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in buttermilk just until moistened. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto hot berry mixture.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350F for 30-35 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Serve warm, with whipped topping or ice cream if desired.

Notes
- Buttermilk amount will vary from individual to individual. You want the dough to be moist enough to hold together when pinched between a few fingers, but not moist enough that it's wet.
- For a thicker cobbler, combine blackberries, sugar, 1 Tbsp of cornstarch and cinnamon and stir well in baking dish. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, so they can soften a little and produce a little bit of a syrupy liquid on the bottom of the dish. Add topping and bake as directed.
