Kentucky Blackberry Cobbler is a traditional Southern dessert that consists of juicy blackberries sweetened with sugar and topped with a thick batter. The batter usually includes flour, baking powder, milk, and butter, and when baked, it forms a tender cake-like crust over the blackberries. The dessert is served warm and often paired with ice cream or whipped cream. Blackberry cobbler is beloved for its comforting flavors and rustic charm, making it a popular dessert during blackberry season in the summer months.

How To Make Kentucky Blackberry Cobbler

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Start by preheating your oven to the temperature specified in your recipe.
  2. Prepare the Blackberries:
    • Wash and clean the blackberries thoroughly. Remove any stems or leaves.
  3. Sweeten the Blackberries:
    • In a bowl, toss the blackberries with sugar to sweeten them. The amount of sugar will depend on your taste preference and the sweetness of the berries.
  4. Add Flavorings:
    • Enhance the flavor by adding a splash of lemon juice or zest to the sweetened blackberries. This will add a refreshing citrusy note.
  5. Prepare the Batter:
    • Mix together the batter according to your recipe. This usually involves combining flour, sugar, milk, and other ingredients. The batter should be smooth and well-mixed.
  6. Grease the Baking Dish:
    • Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  7. Layering:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Then, spoon the sweetened blackberries evenly over the batter. The batter will rise around the berries as it bakes.
  8. Bake:
    • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the cobbler is golden brown and the blackberries are bubbly. This usually takes around 30-40 minutes, but it can vary, so keep an eye on it.
  9. Serve Warm:
    • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  10. Enjoy:
    • Serve your Kentucky Blackberry Cobbler and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet, juicy blackberries and the comforting warmth of the cobbler.

Using Frozen Berries:

If fresh blackberries are not available, you can use frozen blackberries for this cobbler recipe. Simply thaw the frozen berries before using them. You can let them sit out at room temperature for a while until they thaw completely or microwave them gently to speed up the process. Once thawed, proceed with the recipe as usual, following the steps for macerating the berries with sugar before pouring them over the batter.

How to Store Leftover Kentucky Blackberry Cobbler:

To store leftover blackberry cobbler, allow it to cool to room temperature first. Then, cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or transfer the cobbler to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or reheat the whole cobbler in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through.

Freezing Leftover Kentucky Blackberry Cobbler:

If you have more cobbler than you can consume within a few days, you can freeze the leftovers. Wrap the cooled cobbler tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or place it in an airtight container. It’s a good idea to divide the cobbler into individual servings if possible for easier thawing later. The cobbler can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. To thaw, simply transfer the frozen cobbler to the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight. Reheat as mentioned above.

Best Pan Sizes For This Recipe:

For this recipe, a medium-sized baking dish is recommended. You can use a square or rectangular baking dish that measures approximately 8×8 inches or 9×9 inches. Alternatively, you can use a round baking dish with a diameter of 9 inches. If you prefer a thinner cobbler, you can use a larger baking dish, but be mindful of adjusting the baking time accordingly.

What to Serve with Kentucky Blackberry Cobbler:

Blackberry cobbler is delicious on its own, but you can enhance the experience by serving it with various accompaniments. Here are some ideas:

  • Vanilla ice cream: The classic pairing that adds a creamy and cool contrast to the warm cobbler.
  • Whipped cream: Dollop some freshly whipped cream on top for an indulgent treat.
  • Custard sauce: Serve the cobbler with a drizzle of homemade custard or custard sauce for added richness.
  • Fresh berries: Garnish the cobbler with a handful of fresh blackberries or other berries for an extra burst of flavor and presentation.

Kentucky Blackberry Cobbler: Sweet blackberries embraced by a golden crust, a taste of Southern comfort in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups blackberries, washed

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

  • In a large bowl, gently combine the blackberries and sugar, allowing them to macerate for 25-30 minutes, releasing their sweet juices.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and stir with a wooden spoon until a smooth batter forms.
  • Pour the melted butter into the batter and continue to hand-mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated, ensuring there are only a few clumps.
  • Prepare a medium-sized baking dish by either lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly. Then, pour the batter into the dish and spread it evenly.
  • Now, carefully spoon the macerated blackberries, along with all the sugary juices, over the batter. Ensure an even distribution of the berries on top.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the cobbler turns beautifully golden to your liking.
  • Once it’s done baking, allow the cobbler to cool for about 5 minutes. This will help it set and hold its shape.
  • Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, and enjoy the delightful flavors of this homemade Kentucky blackberry cobbler!
