Kentucky Blackberry Cobbler is a traditional Southern dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. It is a simple yet delicious treat that can be made with fresh blackberries or frozen ones. The sweet and juicy blackberries are topped with a buttery biscuit topping that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This cobbler is often served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
2.In a large bowl, toss together the blackberries, lemon juice, 1 cup of sugar, and cornstarch until well combined.
3.Pour the berry mixture into the prepared baking dish and dot with 1/4 cup of cold cubed butter.
4.In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined.
5.Add in the chilled diced butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour mixture, until it resembles coarse crumbs.
6.Add in the buttermilk and mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
7.Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the berry mixture, leaving some gaps for the berries to peek through.
8.Brush the top of the dough with additional buttermilk, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.
9.Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling and tender.
10.Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
