Super Easy Blackberry (or Blueberry) Cobbler

So after our annual volunteer Pancake Breakfast, I found myself staring at a huge bag of leftover blueberries.  What to do.... Then it hit me, COBBLER!  Oh yes, Blueberry Cobbler!  I only had about an hour before the fellas showed up for Men's Night and BBQ so I had to do this quickly:


You Will Need:

  • 2.5 Cups Berries (Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, they all work)
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Stick Unsalted Butter (melted, then cooled slightly)
  • 2 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1 9x9 deep dish baking pan

This recipe is super easy, but you can't take shortcuts.  Sorry!  Here are the steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Get yourself a decent sized bowl with a tight lid (tupperware works) and dump in your berries and sugar.  Gently stir, put on the lid, and shake and roll it gently to get everything mixed together.
  3. Park the bowl in the corner of your counter at room temperature for at least an hour.  Yes, an HOUR!  The sugar needs to chew up the berries a bit, and then dissolve. When the sugar is gone and you have a bowl of berries in syrup, you can proceed to step 4.
  4. Whisk together the flour, powder, and salt.
  5. Add the milk to the flour mixture and whisk it together until it looks like thick cake batter.
  6. Add the melted butter and whisk to incorporate. 
  7. Smear some butter around the bottom and sides of your pan and pour in the flour mixture.  Get it ALL in there!  Use a silicon spatula if necessary.
  8. Pour the berry mixture over the top of the flour in the baking pan, and use a spoon to gently stir and mix it around.   BE GENTLE!  Your goal here to get a mix of batter and berries that's fairly even.  Don't stir it all into a big purple goo...
  9. Now Bake for about 40 minutes.  The top will be nice and golden brown.
  10. Scoop out a portion and dump some vanilla bean ice cream over the top.


MY OH MY, SHO' AM GOOD!!!  Look at that, exactly ten steps!  We can call this, Ten-step cobbler...
