2. **Prepare the Filling:**
– In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice (if using), and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the berries evenly.
– Transfer the berry mixture to a greased 8×8-inch baking dish or similar-sized dish.
3. **Make the Topping:**
– In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
– In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
– Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
4. **Assemble the Cobbler:**
– Spoon the topping mixture over the blackberry filling in dollops. It’s okay if some of the filling is visible; the topping will spread out as it bakes.
5. **Bake:**
– Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
6. **Cool and Serve:**
– Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or even cold.
**Tips:**
– **Serving Suggestions:** Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
– **For Extra Flavor:** Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the topping or filling for added warmth and spice.
This blackberry cobbler is perfect for showcasing the vibrant flavor of blackberries and makes a wonderful dessert for any occasion. Enjoy!
