Ingredients
4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, toss the blackberries with 1/4 cup of sugar and the lemon juice, then spread them evenly in the prepared dish.
Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, the remaining 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4: Stir in the melted butter, boiling water, and vanilla extract until a thick batter forms.
Step 5: Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the blackberries, leaving small gaps for the steam to escape.
Step 6: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry juices are bubbling around the edges.
Step 7: Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.
Notes
Using boiling water in the batter is the ‘magic’ step that creates the unique texture of this cobbler.
