Notes

  • Frozen blackberries can be used—do not thaw before using.
  • Allow cobbler to cool slightly so the filling sets properly.
  • Add cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream for a classic touch.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat as needed.
