Ingredients for this recipe:

For the filling:

• 5 cups fresh blackberries
• juice of ½ lemon
• zest of ½ lemon
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch

For the biscuits:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 grated stick unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup whole milk

Serves 12

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Bake Time: 50 minutes

1. Preheat the oven to 375°.
2. Filling: Add all of the ingredients together in a large bowl and gently fold to mix until combined. Refrigerate until needed.
3. Biscuits: In a separate large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar until completely combined. Gently fold in the grated butter until mixed in.
4. In a separate medium-size bowl whisk together the eggs and milk until completely combined and add it to the dry ingredients bowl and mix until just combined.
5. Add the blackberries to a 10×7 casserole dish and flatten out using a spatula.
6. Using 2 spoons drop 3 tablespoon size dough biscuits right over top of the blackberries in the casserole pan. Repeat the process until 12 total biscuits are laying overtop of the blackberries.
7. Bake in the oven at 375° for 50-60 minutes or until browned on top and the biscuits are cooked through.
8. Cool slightly before serving with optional ice cream and caramel.

Chef Notes:

Make-Ahead: You can make this up to 1 day ahead of time. Serve cold or reheat before serving.

How to Reheat: Cover with foil and bake in the oven at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes or until hot. You can also take your desired amount and cook in the microwave on a microwave-safe plate or bowl until hot.

How to Store: Once cooled to room temperature, cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It will freeze well covered for up to 2 months. Thaw for 1 day in the refrigerator before reheating.

For both the blackberries and biscuit dough, you’ll know when it is mixed enough when there is no visible sign of dry cornstarch or flour.

Other options for pans can be a 9×9 or a 13×9.

    Made this for our Mother’s Day celebration. It was pretty tasty, tho I had to sub lime juice/jest for the lemon and decided to use fresh nutmeg instead of cinnamon. Next time will probably use mace. I also topped with turbinado sugar for an extra crunch (less sugar in biscuit mix) and covered for probably 20 min of the cooking time so it wouldn’t overbrown. Quite tasty!!

    Blackberries are almost ready to pick where I live. I’ve been looking for a good cobbler recipe. I love that you grated the butter. I also love the idea of adding cinnamon! Your videos are well produced, efficient, and very motivational. Anyone who sees these can be successful if they follow your recipes and well done demonstrations.

    Just made this in my Cuisinart Air fryer. Looks amazing. I picked wild blackberries.

  27. Hey YOU!

    I have a ton of blackberries I picked this summer.. made some jam made some syrup and froze the rest.. it's happening this weekend! I'll have to stop at the ice cream though the caramel and the mint are a little much for me thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe.
