Blackberry Cobbler
Call me weird but I don't like to eat berries unless they are in some form of a baked dish. Strawberries are an exception though. My share of sweet blackberries were lying in the refrigerator and a one minute online search landed me at 'Food Network' site which featured this baked berry dessert recipe. It captivated my attention immediately as it is an easy breezy kind of recipe besides being made with the every day ingredients found in most of the kitchens.
This is not a biscuit based cobbler but the batter based one, perfect for lazy bodies like me. It is a great recipe to try when looking for ways to enjoy the summer's berry bounty. All it takes is a few minutes to mix the batter, dump the berries and stick it in the oven. In case if you don't have berries on hand, other fruits such as peaches, apples and others will work fine. This is a no fuss dessert made with minimal efforts and great results. One ends up with a beautiful cake like consistency at the bottom and slightly crispy top with fruit embedded in between. A perfect dessert to prepare on a lazy day. I had to scale down the recipe since I didn't have the required amount of berries on hand.
Prep time: 5 to 10 minutes
Baking time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
1 cup self raising flour or 1 cup all purpose flour + 1.5 tsp. baking powder + 1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup + 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp. sugar (divided)
1 cup milk (Non-dairy milk can be substituted.)
1/2 stick or 1/4 cup butter, melted + extra for greasing the pan
2 cups fresh blackberries (Frozen ones can be substituted.)
Directions:
* Preheat the oven to 350 deg F. Grease a 3 quart baking dish with butter.
* Rinse the berries and pat them dry.
* Whisk self rising flour, 1 cup sugar and milk in a mixing bowl. Add melted butter next and whisk to combine.
* Pour the batter into the baking dish and sprinkle the berries uniformly over the top of the batter. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup sugar over the berries.
* Bake until bubbly and golden brown, about an hour. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tbsp. sugar when 10 minutes of the baking time remains.
* Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

I can eat this cobbler as is, without icecream.
I love cobbler dishes and I have limited access to the berries for me to try this dessert, I would surely love it.
My daughter is exactly like -- no berries except for strawberries. So this will be the perfect dessert to try. Batter base on top sounds so much easier to make than biscuit base. Good one.
We are not great fans of blackberries apart from raspberries and strawberries. But this cobbler makes me drool. I should give a try to this cobbler definitely a day.
Am not fond of any berries, like you suma ! unless found in bakes, and in India any berry except gooseberry (Amla) is sold for price of Gold. I am bookmarkign this cobbler for my little one who loves to have some specks of fruit in her mildly sweet dessert (and perhaps sub these with dried cranberries).

Unfortunately we don't get ant berries except for sour strawberries. I guess I can use them in this recipe. The recipe sounds easy to make and the slice looks perfect.
One of the easier and tastiest desserts. Great way to use up the berries.
I relish blueberries and raspberries. But blackberries and tad bit sour strawberries has to be in another form.. This cobbler looks delicious. Good one.
