A delightful and easy-to-make dessert featuring juicy blackberries and a golden biscuit topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix gently until the berries are evenly coated.
Mix gently to avoid crushing the berries.
Transfer the berry mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Use a spatula to scrape all the mixture into the dish.
In another bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter.
Whisk together the milk and egg in a small bowl. Add this to the dry mixture, stirring just until combined.
Do not overmix to keep the topping light.
Spoon dollops of the topping mixture over the berry filling in the baking dish.
Leave some gaps for the filling to bubble through.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
Allowing it to cool helps the filling set.
