2. Prepare the blackberries: In a bowl, toss the blackberries with 1/2 cup of sugar and set aside.

Pro Tips for Perfection

• Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor, but frozen berries can be substituted if needed—just thaw and drain them first.
• For an extra touch of sweetness, sprinkle a little sugar on top of the batter before baking.
• If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.

FAQs + Troubleshooting

Can I use frozen blackberries?

Yes, frozen blackberries work well in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture.

Why is my cobbler too runny?
