Meme's Blackberry Cobbler

Source of Recipe


From "Bon Appétit, Y'all" by Virginia Willis



List of Ingredients



• ½ cup (1 stick) butter
  
• 5 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen
  
• 1 cup sugar, plus more if desired for berries
  
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 2 tsp baking powder
  
• Pinch salt
  
• 1 cup whole milk
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• Vanilla ice cream (to serve)
  






Instructions



1. Place butter in a large iron skillet; place skillet in oven to melt butter.
   Put blackberries in a large bowl. If they are frozen, let them soften a few minutes. Crush lightly with a potato masher. Sweeten with extra sugar, if you like.
   
   
2. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and 1 cup sugar in a medium bowl. In another bowl, combine milk and vanilla. Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry while whisking.
   
   
3. Remove skillet from oven. Add melted butter to batter. Stir to combine. Pour batter into hot skillet. With a spatula, scrape the berries into the center. Bake cobbler until it is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the cake (not the berries) emerges clean, about 1 hour. Serve warm with ice cream -- and prepare or a walk down memory lane.
   
   Makes 6 to 8 servings.
