It is the summertime indeed, so I would be remiss to not post as many fruit recipes as possible. So, let me share one of the easiest, most delectable, refreshing, incredible, wonderful and classic desserts that I can think of. Blackberry Cobbler. This fruit soaked pudding/cake is best when served with a large) scoop of ice cream, and it comes together so quickly. Honestly, I thought it would be harder. I was ready to make biscuits or a pie-type dough. I was ready to spend hours in the kitchen to develop this recipe. But, after some research, I found that most cobblers are made with less than 10 ingredients. Yes, you read that right, less than TEN ingredients. I had everything in my house already, so I think that this can really be considered a pantry dessert. As long as you have some fruit and the usual baking ingredients, you can have this in your stomach in less than 1 hour. So start now, and thank me later!
Becoming a fruit dessert lover…
I am not sure how common this is, but as a child I hated fruit desserts. Can anyone relate? I would turn my nose up at any pie, any tart, any cobbler. If there wasn’t chocolate, I wasn’t interested. Oh, how naive I was. It honestly was not until high school that I started to enjoy berries. I always liked vegetables more than fruit. But then I discovered strawberries and blueberries, and I have progressed since there. It was within the past year that I made my first pie, and I adored it. I can now happily announce that I love any and all fruit desserts. So, let me share this one with you: Blackberry Cobbler. It is a childhood favorite of my dad’s, and it really has grown on me. The mixing of the warm fruit and ice cream is godly, and I will happily eat it any day.
Blackberry Cobbler
Equipment
- 8×8 inch pan
- Large Bowl

Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2½ teaspoons Baking Powder
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ¾ cup Milk (preferably whole)
- ½ cup Sour Cream
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease your 8 x 8 inch pan.

- Pour this into the 8 x 8 inch pan and smooth out the top, making sure it is evenly in the pan.

- Sprinkle the sugar over top of the blackberries, making sure to evenly distribute it across the entire pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the top is slightly browned.
