Time 45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 cups fresh blackberries
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
¼ cup cold butter, cubed
4 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup chilled butter, diced
1 ⅓ cups buttermilk, plus additional for brushing
¼ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Place the blackberries in a mixing bowl, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Toss with 1 cup sugar and cornstarch until evenly coated. Place into the prepared baking dish, and arrange the cubes of butter on top. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together. Cut in 1 cup of chilled, diced butter using a pastry cutter until the butter is in pieces no larger than a pea. Stir in the buttermilk until a batter has formed. Spoon the batter evenly over the blackberries. Brush the top of the batter with additional buttermilk to moisten, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.

HOMEMADE KENTUCKY BLACKBERRY COBBLER RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Homemade Kentucky Blackberry Cobbler Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by mzander

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups fresh blackberries, washed
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 stick unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • First you should take care of the blackberry and sugar mixture because it needs to sit for a while. Stir together just the berries and sugar in a large bowl and let it sit out for 25 to 30 minutes. This will coax out the juices of the blackberries so that they can be sweetened up by the sugar, and we can taste the full spectrum of the fruit-this process is called macerating. After about 20 minutes, you should turn on the oven to about 375ºF and start preparing your batter. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and milk with a wooden spoon. Next, stir in the melted butter and hand-mix it until the ingredients are well incorporated and you have few clumps. Pick out a clean baking dish, a smaller one will do, like a 9x9-inch pan, pour in the batter and smooth it out. You can choose to line it with parchment paper or not, but don't grease the pan (there is enough butter in there already!). Finally, pour the macerated blackberries on top with all the sugar included and evenly distribute it over the batter. Bake this promising pan of happiness in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how golden you prefer it to be. Let it set up for a good 15 minutes so it will hold its shape. It will be bubbling like crazy and quite hot, so be careful! This hour goes a little like this: you can hear it bubbling through the vent behind the stove, you can smell the buttery dough caramelizing with the sugar, and you can see the dotted crown of blackberries creating that quintessential golden cobbler crust. It is a marvel to have in your oven, let me tell you!

Tips:

  • Fresh blackberries: Use fresh, ripe blackberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh blackberries, you can use frozen or canned blackberries, but the flavor will be slightly less intense.
  • Lemon juice: Lemon juice helps to balance the sweetness of the blackberries and adds a bit of tartness. Be sure to use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Sugar: You can adjust the amount of sugar in the recipe to suit your taste. If you like your cobbler sweeter, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet cobbler, reduce the amount of sugar.
  • Flour: All-purpose flour is the most common type of flour used in cobbler recipes. You can also use self-rising flour, but be sure to omit the baking powder from the recipe.
  • Baking powder: Baking powder helps the cobbler to rise and become light and fluffy. Be sure to use fresh baking powder for the best results.
  • Butter: Use cold, unsalted butter for the best results. The cold butter will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Milk: You can use whole milk, low-fat milk, or skim milk in this recipe. The type of milk you use will not affect the flavor of the cobbler.

Conclusion:

Kentucky blackberry cobbler is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart blackberries, flaky crust, and creamy filling, this cobbler is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
