Blackberry Cobbler

My absolute favorite summer dessert is warm blackberry cobbler with a big scoop of cold vanilla ice cream.

Yum!

I found the simplest recipe so here it goes.

You will need:

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 cup of self-rising flour

1 cup of milk

1/2 cup of butter - melted

3-4 cups of fresh blackberries

Prep:  Blend together 1 cup of the sugar, flour, and milk; stir in melted butter.

Grease a 12 x 8 pan and pour in the batter.

Sprinkle in blackberries.  I usually add as many as I can fit.

Sprinkle remaining sugar over the top... to be honest I probably use more than 1/4 of a cup.  I just keep sprinkling until I'm satisfied with the coverage.

Bake at 350 for an hour until golden brown and bubbling.

It's almost too easy.

Here is a before picture

You can see I didn't sprinkle the sugar on top evenly... but it didn't ruin anything!

Also this gives you a good idea on how many blackberries I use!

After

Oh my goodness... it's so perfect. 

Don't forget the ice cream!

So there you have it... now you can have the perfect summer!

*Side note: I have found that when I use store bought blackberries they do not rise to the top when baking... I'm not sure why.  It's still good... but not AS good.  I would recommend using home-grown blackberries if possible!  We always pick ours at Dustin's grandma's house :)

Happy picking!
