How to Make Blackberry Cobbler

This classic dessert comes together in just a few easy steps.

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together:

• Self-rising flour
• Sugar
• Whole milk

Mix until smooth.

Stir in the melted butter until fully combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Cobbler

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

Evenly scatter the blackberries over the batter.

Do not stir. As the cobbler bakes, the batter will rise around the berries to create the signature cobbler topping.

Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 5: Cool Slightly

Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10–15 minutes before serving.
