Southern Blackberry Cobbler with Rum
This cobbler is not only easy to prepare but also features ingredients that come together harmoniously. Here’s how to make this delicious treat at home.
Ingredients
For the blackberry filling:
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 1 cup sugar (adjust according to taste)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup rum (preferably dark rum)
For the cobbler topping:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and rum. Gently toss the mixture until the berries are well coated. Spread the filling evenly in the prepared baking dish.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter over the blackberry mixture, spreading it out as evenly as possible, but it’s okay if some of the filling peeks through.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. A toothpick inserted into the cobbler should come out clean.
6. Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. It is delightful on its own or served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy this mouthwatering Southern Blackberry Cobbler with Rum as a perfect ending to your meal or as a fabulous treat any time of day!
