The Best Cobbler Recipe in the History of Baking

Alright, so that may be a bit of a hyperbole, but seriously this cobbler is a-mazing. I have The Pioneer Woman to thank for this mind-altering, life-changing cobbler. In some alternate dream world where this blog turns into a must read for thousands, maybe she and I will meet someday at a conference. We'd exchange witty banter and discuss our mutual love for butter. Seriously, butter makes any recipe better. Butter or cheese. I never said what I bake is healthy, people.


Anyway, before I digress even further, here's the recipe:

Patsy's Blackberry Cobbler
makes 8 servings
1/4 pound (1 stick) butter, melted
1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar*
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup milk
2 cups fresh (or frozen) blackberries (or blueberries, peaches, raspberries, etc.)

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 3-quart baking dish with butter. (I use an 8" x 8" baking dish and it works just as well).
2. Place the stick of butter in a microwave-save dish. Heat in microwave for 30-45 seconds, until melted.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk 1 cup of the sugar with the flour and milk.
4. Whisk in the melted butter.
5. Rise the blackberries and pat them dry.
6. Pour the batter into the baking dish. Spring the blackberries evenly over the top of the batter.
7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar over the blackberries.
8. Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown and bubbly. When 10 minutes left of cooking time remain, sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar over the top.
   

mmmmmm

*I use just over a cup of sugar in my version, it all depends on your sweet tooth. Feel free to add more/less. 

If you love this recipe, there are a ton more in The Pioneer Woman's Cookbook. (No, I was not paid to say that).

Hope you love this cobbler as much as I do!
