A quick and easy blackberry cobbler topped with tender, flaky buttermilk biscuits, perfect for any season and a comforting dessert for all ages.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh blackberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on berry sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold (or 3/4 cup milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss the blackberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  4. Add cold, cubed butter and cut into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits.
  5. Gradually pour in cold buttermilk and stir gently with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the blackberry filling into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the berries, leaving some gaps for steam to escape.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too quickly.
  9. Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits. Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits. Drain frozen berries well to prevent soggy filling. Tent with foil if biscuits brown too quickly. Add extra cornstarch if berries are very juicy.
