    Ingredient Notes

    • Butter- Adds moisture and a buttery taste to the cobbler topping.
    • Buttermilk- Provides moisture and a tangy flavor.
    • Baking powder- Acts as a leavening agent to give the topping its fluffy texture.
    • Sugar- Brown sugar extracts the juices from the berries and enhances their sweetness.
    • Blackberries- Fresh or frozen blackberries work, ensuring the latter are thawed and strained if frozen.
    • Cornstarch- Thickens the blackberry juices into a syrupy consistency.

    Add-ins and Substitutions

    • Substitute the berries- Other berries like raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries can be used for variation. You can also opt for peaches, apples, or pears.
    • Substitute the flour- Use gluten-free flour if you want to make this recipe gluten-free.
    • Add cinnamon- Incorporate cinnamon for a spicier flavor that enhances the cobbler topping.
    • Use an egg- Including eggs in the cobbler topping can make it slightly denser and more cake-like if preferred.

    ### Recipe Tips

    – **Thaw and Drain Frozen Blackberries:** Removing excess moisture is crucial to prevent sogginess in the cobbler.
    – **Use a Food Processor for Butter and Flour:** Using a food processor speeds up the process of cutting butter into the flour mixture.
    – **Thoroughly Work in Buttermilk:** Ensure the buttermilk is well mixed to avoid dry spots in the topping.
    – **Add Butter and Sugar on Top:** Butter aids in browning and crisping the topping, while sugar adds sweetness.

    ### FAQs

    – **Can I leave a blackberry cobbler out overnight?** While it can be left out, refrigeration is recommended due to the dairy content.
