Old Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler

All you need are 6 simple ingredients, including self rising flour to make this old fashioned blackberry cobbler recipe just like your grandma used to make. You’ll be feeling all the nostalgia with this simple dessert recipe that’s perfect for spring or summer.

Easy blackberry cobbler recipe – I think this is the same recipe every mom in America made us as kids. My mom’s recipe came from a heavy blue cookbook that I want to say may have been Better Homes and Gardens or Betty Crocker. Either way, do not skimp on the sugar and always serve warm with ice cream.

The real secret compared to other recipes is that I always butter the dish. The butter creates the most wonderfully delicious bottom on the cobbler. It’s so rich and comforting!

Blackberry Cobbler Ingredients

When I said you only need 6 ingredients to make this recipe for blackberry cobbler, I meant it! It’s so simple! Most of the ingredients are pantry staples too! Here is everything you’ll need:

• Sugar: just regular white granulated sugar, some of the cobbler topping and some sprinkling on top
• Self-Rising Flour: found on the same aisle as the all-purpose flour
• Salt: enhances all the flavors
• Whole Milk: helps binds the batter together, 2% milk works fine too
• Butter: adds flavor and richness to the crust
• Blackberries: can be fresh or frozen, more details below

The measurements required for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

What is Self-Rising Flour?

Self-rising flour is a flour that has a leavening agent already included in it, usually baking powder. It usually has a little salt added to it as well. It helps the baked good rise.

If you don’t have self-rising flour or you can’t find it, you can make your own! Just 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt for every 1 cup of flour in your recipe.

Can I Use Frozen Blackberries?

Both fresh and frozen blackberries work great in this recipe. Of course we love this in the summertime with those juicy, fresh blackberries, but sometimes you need blackberry cobbler when it’s not summertime, so frozen blackberries will work just fine.

No need to thaw them ahead of time. Just sprinkle them over the top frozen and they will thaw as it bakes. If you let them thaw beforehand, they will bleed into the cobbler batter and make it purple and they will be mushy and not the right texture.
