Blackberry Cobbler

By newbaucher

In summer, blackberries abound in fields and along country roads around here. It’s fun to pick them, especially when we know this dessert will be the result.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ cup milk
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
• ¾ cup raspberry or apple juice
• Ice cream or whipped cream, optional

Preparation

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Combine flour and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir just until moistened. Pour juice over all.
Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm; top with ice cream or cream if desired.
