BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter in a 13x9 inch baking dish.
• Place blackberries in a saucepan and stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar with water. Add thyme and bring to a boil then turn down to simmer. Cook for 5 minutes and remove from heat.
• Whisk together flour and baking soda, then add remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar and whisk until well blended. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract.
• Once butter is melted, slowly pour in batter over the butter but do not stir. Remove thyme from blackberries and discard, then gently spoon the blackberries and any accumulated juices over the batter and do not stir.
• Sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the top then bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot or room temperature with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.

BEST BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Place filling ingredients in a pot and barely cover with water and bring to a boil.
• Place first three dumpling ingredients in a bowl. Cut shortening into flour using pastry cutter, forks or your hands until it resembles course meal.
• Add water one teaspoon at a time until dough holds together in a ball and does not crumble when pressed.
• Flour a work surface and roll out dumpling dough to about 1/4 - 1/8 inch thick and cut into squares.
• Drop dumplings into berry filling and cook 30 minutes. Make sure to stir when dropping in dumplings so they don't stick together.
• Pour filling into a 4 quart rectangle baking dish.
• Roll out pre-made crusts and place over berries. *Most pre-made pie crust boxes come with 2 single crusts. You will need both crusts and trim the extra off. If you have the patience you can create a lattice crust using the pre-made dough for a pretty presentation.
• Bake your cobbler according to the Pillsbury Ready Crust box directions.
• This recipe can be halved or 2 smaller cobblers made by using two 2 quart dishes and using one pre-made crust per cobbler.

BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Combine the blackberries and sugar in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and add to the pan. Simmer until thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in the almond extract and orange zest, then remove from the heat and place in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, allowing the mixture to cool slightly.
• For the lattice crust: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface to approximately 10 by 14 inches. Cut one pie crust lengthwise into 4 long strips 1 3/4 inches wide (you will have scraps). Cut the second pie crust widthwise into 6 short strips, also 1 3/4 inches wide.
• Place the 4 long strips vertically on a sheet pan with half an inch between them. Fold the first and third strips back on themselves and lay a short strip across. Fold the first and third long strips back to their original position over the top of the short strip. Now fold the long second and fourth strips back. Lay a short strip over and return the long strips. Repeat until you have laid six strips across and have a lattice. Trim the edges a little and put the sheet pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the lattice to harden a little.
• Place the lattice on top of the blackberry mixture. Make an egg wash by beating the egg together with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Brush the lattice with egg wash and bake until the crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes. (The berries may bubble over slightly, but that's normal.)
• Serve bowls of cobbler with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

FRESH BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 3-quart baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk 1 cup of the sugar with the flour, baking powder, salt and milk. Whisk in melted butter.
• Meanwhile, rinse the blackberries and pat them dry. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and sprinkle blackberries evenly over the top of the batter. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over the blackberries.
• Bake for one hour, or until golden brown and bubbly. When 10 minutes of cooking time remain, sprinkle the remaining two tablespoons of sugar over the top, and let that get all mouth-wateringly crispy and carmelized.
• Try to stop drooling.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

LATTICE-TOPPED BLACKBERRY COBBLER RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Place 1/3 cup granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer until combined (about 1 minute). Add egg yolk, beating well. Stir in vanilla. Place almonds in food processor. Pulse 10 times or until finely ground. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine nuts, flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring well with a whisk. Gradually add nut mixture to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until a soft dough forms, adding 3 tablespoons ice water, as necessary. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 6 times or until smooth. Divide dough into 2 equal portions. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap. Chill 1 hour or until firm. Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine the remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar, blackberries, cornstarch, and lemon juice and toss gently. Arrange berry mixture in a 13 by 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Unwrap chilled dough. Roll each dough portion into a 13 x 9-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut one rectangle, crosswise, into 1-inch-wide strips. Cut remaining rectangle, lengthwise, into 1-inch-wide strips. Arrange strips in a lattice pattern over fruit mixture. Sprinkle dough with turbinado sugar. Bake 50 minutes or until golden. Let stand 10 minutes.
