Mom’s Blackberry Cobbler

Homemade Blackberry Cobbler

by Alli

When I was a little girl, wild blackberry picking was a thing. Once school was out for summer, we’d head to the blackberry patch and load up on those juicy purple-black drupelets. My mouth would water at the thought of Mom’s Blackberry Cobbler.

To this day, Blackberry Cobbler remains at the very top of my favorite desserts. I like to take it out of the oven, let it cool for just a couple of minutes (so it won’t burn my tongue), and serve it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

When the ice cream hits the warm cobbler, it slowly begins to melt and the taste is indescribable. The textures of crunchy, creamy, sweet, and tangy mingle together to deliver the perfect bite.

These days, when I make Mom’s Blackberry Cobbler for my family, there are never any leftovers. Ever. And everyone asks for their cobbler to be served a la mode.

Premium vanilla ice cream is a must. Whipped cream just doesn’t cut it for this dessert.

The beauty of Mom’s Blackberry Cobbler is that the crust can be used to make any fruit cobbler. I use this same recipe to make a peach cobbler. Mom’s peach cobbler was always out of this world good and so is mine.

I’m sure you’ll find this recipe in any good church cookbook. I’ve seen several variations of it throughout the years. Of course, mom’s is my favorite.

Because I’m a southerner, I grew up watching mom use White Lily Self-rising Flour. Whenever mom gave me a recipe that called for flour, she’d say, “Make sure you use White Lily.” Guess what? To this day, I only use White Lily Self-Rising Flour. It’s been a southern staple since 1883. Plus it’s a family tradition and reminds me of mom.

Helpful Hint: If you don’t have access to self-rising flour, you can make your own by placing 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to equal one cup.
