Description

Easy Skillet Blackberry Cobbler is a quick and comforting dessert combining juicy fresh blackberries with a golden, buttery topping. This one-pan cobbler comes together effortlessly, offering a warm, fruity treat perfect for any occasion, ready in under an hour with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Blackberry Filling

  • 2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

For the Cobbler Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (warm, not hot)
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blackberry Filling: Rinse the blackberries gently and pat dry. In a skillet, toss the berries with the sugar and lemon zest. Let them sit so the sugar starts dissolving and the berries release their natural juices.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until evenly mixed. Pour in the milk and melted butter, stirring just until combined. The batter should be thick but pourable, ready to spoon over the berries.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Spread the batter evenly over the blackberry mixture in the skillet. It’s okay if some berries peek through—that gives a rustic, charming look after baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cobbler for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden and a toothpick inserted in the batter comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to thicken and the topping to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe blackberries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir only until ingredients are combined for a tender topping.
  • Melt butter warm, not hot, to blend smoothly with the batter.
  • Use a cast-iron skillet for even heat distribution and beautiful browning.
  • Let the cobbler rest before serving to avoid syrupy run-off and meld flavors.
