Print Recipe

A warm and comforting blackberry cobbler featuring a nutty brown butter biscuit topping, perfect for cozy evenings and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh blackberries (frozen works in a pinch)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided (4 tablespoons for browning)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon salt (plus a pinch for berries)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss blackberries with ¼ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and lemon zest. Set aside to macerate.
  3. Brown 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat until golden brown and nutty, about 3-5 minutes. Pour into a large mixing bowl to cool slightly.
  4. Add 1 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt to the browned butter. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Pour the blackberry mixture with juices into an oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough evenly over the berries.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until biscuit topping is golden brown and berry filling is bubbling.
  8. Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If biscuit topping browns too fast, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Adding a splash of heavy cream on biscuit dough before baking can create a golden crust. For dairy-free, substitute buttermilk with almond milk and lemon juice, and use vegan butter. Overmixing biscuit dough will toughen biscuits. Macerate berries to draw out juices and enhance flavor.
