How to Make An Easy Homemade Blackberry Cobbler

July 24th, 2012

Remember how marriage can be strengthened through blackberry cobbler?  Well it has also can kindle friendships too.  Cobbler, it’s what makes the world go round.  This Blackberry Cobbler recipe is one of the easiest deserts to make on the planet.

I’ll show you…

First you need 2 pints of fresh blackberries, which are in season and on sale right now.  Sprinkle them with sugar – you don’t need much so you still get that tart flavor, less than a 1/4 of a cup. Next you need the basic baking ingredients: salt, an egg, baking powder, flour, sugar, vanilla, and butter. You know, the good stuff. 

Cream the butter and sugar together. Then add the dry ingredients slowly. And then, you know the drill add your wet ingredients – the egg and vanilla.

Once those are nice and mixed, you should have a cookie dough-like batter.  {I dare you not to lick the bowl – it’s incredibly tasty.}

Drop the batter on the blackberries like so…

Put it in a warmed oven and you’re just 35 minutes away from golden-brown, warm, gooey, blackberry deliciousness .

Yep, it’s seriously that simple.
