I made this cobbler the day Joe, Babygirl, and Jalen came home from vacation. I had just finished cleaning up the kitchen from dinner and sat down to browse through some of my fave blogs when I spotted this yummy on Abby’s blog, Confabulation in the Kitchen. Having just received three baggies filled with blackberries it didn’t take but a glance at her photos of Old Fashion Blackberry Cobbler before I hopped up and got to it. I’d never made a cobbler before… it’s so easy and so good! How come you guys never told me? Needless to say I see more of them in my future!
Old Fashion Blackberry Cobbler
2 C fresh blackberries
1 C sugar, divided into two 1/2 cups *
3/4 C AP flour
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 C milk
1/2 C butter, melted
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Combine fruit and 1/2 cup sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the flour, baking powder and milk.
4. Pour melted butter into a 1.5 quart casserole dish. Pour in milk mixture but do not stir. Add fruit, but do not stir. Bake 1 hour. Abby suggests topping your serving with ice cream, something about gilding the lily. I concur! :)
*The only thing I might change is to cut back on the sugar. My berries were quite sweet and didn’t need 1/2 cup of sugar. Before adding sugar to your berries I suggest you taste them first and use your best judgment.
My other thoughts on Abby’s recipe? She says she normally makes a peach and blackberry cobbler which leads me to believe you could get crazy with what fruits you use.

I'm so jealous of your blackberry stash! We've been wanting to pick some and its practically been impossible! :)
Lovely lovely creations using blackberry, Ingrid
That cobbler is to die for! I'm drooling...
Cheers,

Cobblers are the things summers are made of. This looks awesome!
Oh does that look delicious. So great this time of year with all the fresh fruits available....
I wish I ha 3 baggies of berries! ;)
Yum this looks good! The only cobbler I have ever made was Peach Cobbler but now I think I need to try out some new stuff! This looks so heavenly!
Ohhh la la, I have to make this for sheezy, growing up my favorite dessert was blackberry pie. Yum.
This looks so incredibly yummy! Now I know what to do with that bag of frozen blackberries in my freezer. Thanks!!
How good does that look? SOOOO good!
Yummy! Your pictures just made me call a friend that grows blackberries - she is bringing them to me at work today.
This looks so delicious...I've never made cobbler either. How interesting the way it is put together.
I definately agree with the ice cream! I'm going to go find me some berries!

Mmmm. Wish I could get my hands on those berries. They look positively perfect. Love your cobbler too ~ esp. the last picture of the mostly empty baking dish! Looks like it was a huge hit!
blackberry season is fast approaching and this will be a great recipe to try. Thanks for sharing! (miss you btw!)
would you look at those gorgeous juices? just look at em! that's an outstanding cobbler, ingrid, and a fine use for those berries!
That's totally beautiful. YUM. I still have all these sour cherries and plan to make this really cool flat pie I saw on a blog. Maybe tomorrow!
I love cobbler's! Especially berry ones - this looks so scrumptious!!!!
We had wild blackberries by our house when I was kid. They are my favorite. Love this cobbler!
Oh my! That looks so delicious! Talk about scrumptious, gooey blackberry goodness. And topping it off with ice cream just made it all the more heavenly! Definitely trying this one out, thanks for sharing the recipe!
This blueberry cake looks good!
ha ha! just kidding. the color of your blackberries in the last photo makes me want to lick the dish clean. Yum!
Peach cobbler with a crunchy sugar topping is my fave! No ice cream needed.
I just went blackberry picking with the kidlets a couple nights ago - what a tasty way to use them!
Nothing like old-fashioned cobbler to bring out the freshness of berries :) A pity berries are sooo expensive here in Singapore. I might just have to give this a go the moment there's a berry sale!
It looks amazing! But why didn't you go with them?
HA! That is so funny, I made my first cobbler last year as well - I had not only never made one, but never tasted one and didn't know what a cobbler was! And when I tried it, I was like, "What have I been missing?!?!" I haven't made (or eaten) one since, but you have totally got me craving it again! I LOVE that last picture.. I would like the plate. I hope you wouldn't mind!
Coblers are absolutely delicious desserts and what more with berries that are now in season. Love pairing with with scoops of vanilla ice-cream.
Yum - I love cobbler.
It looks yummy! Especially with the ice cream.
mmm.I adore cobbler!
Looks divine
cobbler and blackberries are two of my most favorite things. I'll be trying this soon!
I will be in your neck of the woods next week. I am excited but not looking forward to the heat. I will be going to Knoxville.
Meanwhile, this blackberry yumalicious dessert looks amazing!
Drool. Droooly drooly drool. This looks so good! If I didn't already have plans for the blackberries in my fridge, I'd make this, stat!
Splendid!
I love the color of those berries! This looks fantastic Ingrid, and I bet adding peaches to it would just take it over the top!
Glad you liked it! (Just getting around to checking blogs. Got home Sunday night.)
It IS fabulous. And you MUST make a cherry cobbler one day. Talk about dying and going to HEAVEN.
Blackberries are my very favorite. I must make this soon!
Wow you just make the most amazing sounding desserts ever! I would love to be at your house alll the time!
Yum!! I'm making something with blackberries tonight, but not this.. maybe i should change my mind! haha
