MAMA'S BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Alabama has some tasty fresh blackberries. Decades ago, my mama was heading out to pick blackberries to make a cobbler, but she ended up going to the hospital to have me instead. This is her mama's recipe. The blackberries start on top, but then end up tucked under a golden brown crust after it's baked. -Lisa Allen, Joppa, Alabama

Mama's Southern Blackberry (or any Fruit) Cobbler image

As southern as they come! Just smelling it makes a person talk with a southern drawl! This is my mama's own old fashioned cobbler recipe. My dad and my husband call it "This Ain't No Lazy Woman's Cobbler" (referring to those easy dump in kind), but you won't find one that tastes better! Honestly, it's not difficult even though...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 c fresh blackberries
1 1/2 c water (you may need less if your berries or other fruit are really juicy. mine are home grown, and we've had a drought for a few years.)
1 1/2 c sugar (adjust sugar when changing fruit.)
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional) (i don't always use it for blackberry.)
DOUGH
3 1/4 c all purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c crisco or lard (when i was a child, she used lard.)
1 1/4 c milk
FOR THE TOP CRUST
6-7 Tbsp butter
1/2 c sugar to sprinkle on the top crust
--------- cinnamon or nutmeg to sprinkle on top of crust

Steps:

  • 1. Mix flour and salt. Using pastry cutter, cut shortening into flour. Once it becomes a meal texture, add the milk and stir together.
  • 2. Mix fruit, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and 1 1/2 cups water in saucepan and bring to boil. Turn down to simmer while you roll some dough into dumplings.
  • 3. Begin with about 1/4 of the dough. On floured surface, roll dough to about 1/4 inch thickness (or less). Cut into 1-inch pieces and drop into berry mixture. Allow to cook a minute before stirring down and adding more dumplings. You may need just a bit more of the original dough for dumplings. Once it has a good mixture of dumplings and juice, remove from heat. You want this to still be a little juicy. Please remember that your bottom crust will absorb some of the juice.
  • 4. Split the remaining dough into near halves. If one side has slightly more, save it for last. Roll out first half. Spray Pam into bottom of glass 13 X 9 pan. Place rolled out crust into bottom of pan. (Don't cover sides.) If crust tears, it's okay, you can piece it together for the bottom of the dish.
  • 5. Pour berry mixture on top of bottom crust.
  • 6. I usually roll out all of my dough on wax paper, but for this step, I always do. Roll out the remaining dough into a rectangular shape larger than the 13 X 9 dish on floured wax paper. When it's large enough, use the wax paper to turn the top crust onto the cobbler. If an area tears, you can tear off some of the extra to cover the tear. If some areas go beyond the dish, work them into the dish. The top crust is yummy, flaky goodness, and extra is always a good thing.
  • 7. Cut up the butter and spread out pieces all over the top crust. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • 8. Bake at 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until nicely browned. This is delicious served with real whipped cream or vanilla ice cream or just by itself.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh blackberries: Fresh blackberries are the key to a delicious cobbler. Look for ripe, plump berries that are deep purple in color. Avoid berries that are bruised or moldy.
  • Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet is the best pan for making cobbler because it evenly distributes heat and creates a crispy crust. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cobbler tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cobbler until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: The cobbler is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
  • Serve the cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream: Cobbler is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can also top the cobbler with whipped cream or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Blackberry cobbler is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
