Equipment
- 10" Cast Iron Skillet
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 12 tablespoon granulated sugar divided
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 8 tablespoon butter, salted cold and chunked
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F degrees and lightly grease a 10” cast iron skillet with cooking spray.
- Rinse blackberries, allow them to slightly drip dry, and place in the bottom of the greased skillet, with 8 tablespoons white sugar, lemon juice and ground cinnamon, mix well and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, remaining sugar (4 tablespoons), and baking powder.
- Either by hand or with two forks, add the cold small pieces of butter chunks into the flour mixture and mix into a coarse meal.
- Pour in the milk and egg and mix until there is no more dry flour (note: if you need to add a little more milk to get any leftover flour at the bottom, just be sure not to make the dough wet and sticky).
- Make little stone patties and place them on top of berries (note: they do not need to cover the whole surface area).
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top of crust is golden brown. Allow the cobbler to sit and thicken for about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- If using frozen blackberries don’t thaw them beforehand or they can become too mushy.
- Keep your butter cold, this ensures a flaky, tender topping.
- A slightly rough dough makes for a better cobbler texture, do not over-mix.
- Allow the cobbler to sit for at least 15 minutes after baking to thicken.
- The topping should be crisp and golden brown for the best texture.
