Ingredients
For the Berries:
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
6 cups fresh blackberries
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Batter:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set the Temperature: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cobbler will bake evenly and come out with the perfect golden-brown topping.
Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. This prevents the cobbler from sticking and makes for an easier clean-up.
2. Prepare the Berries
Mix Sugar and Cornstarch: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup white sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. This mixture will help thicken the berry filling as it bakes.
