Blackberry Cobbler

  by Joan Ricketts Locke

 

The blackberry bushes have been abundant this year.  I have made blackberry jam, blackberry jelly, blackberry muffins and this delicious blackberry cobbler.  I hope you enjoy this treat created with inspiration from my back yard blackberries!

 

Ingredients:

2 c. Bisquick
1 c. sugar

2 tbsp. butter
¼ c. brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. milk
3 c. washed, drained blackberries

 

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Place blackberries in a bowl and stir in ½ cup sugar.  Set aside while preparing the cobbler batter.

In large mixing bowl:

Add bisquick, ½ cup sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, ½ c milk, 1 beaten egg and mix thoroughly

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 8 x 8 inch, or round baking dish.

Place ½ of the batter mixture in the buttered baking dish.  Next, pour  blackberries on top of batter.

Add ¼ c. brown sugar to the remainder of batter, then spoon the remainder of batter evenly over the blackberries.

Bake at 375°F for 35 minutes.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

This recipe is great for blueberry, cherry, peach, or apples.  Use your imagination and come up with your own fruit mix.

 Special Note:  You can easily substitute Bisquick with 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 cup softened butter mixed together.
