Wintertime desserts tend to be hearty and warm, especially since fresh fruit is now available year round. The following Easy Buttery Blackberry Cobbler is perfect for serving in cold weather (or anytime, actually), and has a buttery crust which bakes over the berries. The recipe calls for minimal ingredients and is easy to put together. You can use other fruit if it’s available such as peaches, raspberries, or blueberries.

While this cobbler is best served warm, it’s also good at room temperature.

8 Servings

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar
1 cup milk

1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

4 to 6 cups blackberries, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Place the butter in a 3 quart (approximately 9" x 13") shallow glass baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while the oven heats.
3. Remove from the oven when the butter is melted.
4. Mix the milk and 1 cup sugar in a mixing bowl.
5. Measure the flour, baking powder, and salt into a fine strainer set over the sugar/milk mixture and shake through; mix well.
6. Pour the batter over the butter - some of the butter will come up the sides, but that's as it should be; do not stir.
7. Sprinkle the blackberries evenly over the batter, and sprinkle the 1/4 cup sugar over the blackberries.
8. Bake 40-50 minutes or until golden brown and set.
9. Remove from the oven, let sit a minute or two, and spoon into bowls.
10. Top with vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
