Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 850 g 6 cups fresh blackberries
- 50 g 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 15 ml 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Zest of one small lemon
- 22 g 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
For the Topping:
- 133 g 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 90 g 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 5 g 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 g 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 ml 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 85 g 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 baking pan.
- In a large bowl, gently stir together the blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and all-purpose flour. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for the topping. Add the vanilla extract and melted butter, stirring until fully combined. The mixture should resemble a crumbly dough.
- Press pieces of the topping mixture together with your fingers to form flat, irregular-shaped pieces. Arrange the pieces of topping evenly over the blackberry filling.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the berries are bubbling and the topping is beginning to turn light golden brown.
- Allow the cobbler to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes before serving. The juices will thicken as it cools.
- Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
