Blackberry Cobbler with Brown Butter Topping is a delightful treat that combines the tartness of juicy blackberries with the rich, nutty flavor of brown butter. The topping is uniquely satisfying with its golden-brown crust, providing a perfect contrast to the sweet, syrupy berries below. As the cobbler bakes, the aroma of brown butter fills your kitchen, promising a dessert that’s both comforting and indulgent. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an irresistible finish to any meal
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 4 cups fresh blackberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Brown Butter Topping:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a similar-sized ovenproof dish.
- Prepare the Blackberry Filling: In a large bowl, toss the blackberries with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the mixture to thicken and become juicy. Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Brown Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue to cook until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the brown butter and milk, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Spoon the topping mixture evenly over the blackberry filling, leaving some gaps for the filling to peek through. The topping will spread as it bakes.
- Bake: Place the cobbler in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s wonderful warm or at room temperature, and pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
