Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or casserole dish.
In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently until the berries are evenly coated.
Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
Add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Spoon the batter evenly over the blackberry filling. It does not need to completely cover the fruit.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Frozen blackberries can be used without thawing.If the filling appears too runny, bake the cobbler a few minutes longer until it bubbles thickly.A cast iron skillet can be used instead of a baking dish for a rustic presentation.For extra flavor, add lemon zest or a pinch of nutmeg to the filling.
