Blackberry Cobbler Recipe

Lately we have been getting into blackberry cobblers/pudding. As kids summers were spent picking blackberries and making blackberry pie. Now with our own kids now we have rediscovered the the joy of picking blackberries. We have some great bushes on our block. So long story short we have been making lots of these easy blackberry cobblers recently. The recipe is below:

Ingredients

3 cups blackberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup salted butter, melted 
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon

Method

Preheat the oven to 170°C .

Grease a 25cmx25cm baking dish.

In a bowl, gently toss the blackberries with 1/4 cup of sugar. Let macerate for 10mins.

Now in a mixing bowl, combine the rest of the  sugar, flour, baking powder and lemon zest. Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined. The batter will be a little lumpy.

Pour the batter into baking dish. Add blackberries to the top batter. 

Bake for 45-50 min, or until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean.

Let cool a little and serve with vanilla ice cream or double cream.
