Ever had a blackberry cobbler? Make use of these juicy summer berries before they’re gone. Blackberry cobbler is easy to make—and mouthwatering to taste.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream!

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 1/4 cup sugar, divided
1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk, whole
3 cups blackberries
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking dish (or a 9-inch round dish should work). 

Mix together 1 cup of the sugar, the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk. Stir in the melted butter. Mix until smooth.

Spread into prepared dish. Pour berries on top and sprinkle remaining sugar over the berries.

Bake until golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes.

because Blackberries are so fragile; they prob. go top of cobbler-dough or else they would get too watery;

as with any cobbler, batter always goes in bottom of pan. as it cooks, it bubbles up towards the top

Nancy, I don't think anyone is home. I think we're on our own. I'm putting the batter on top and see what happens.

Yes put the batter on top

The berries will sink and the batter will rise.

Is the batter mixture supposed to go on the bottom first? Is the info backwards?

For the blackberry cobbler recipe, are you sure the batter goes on the bottom and berries on top? How does the crust get golden brown?
