Easy Blackberry Cobbler with Brown Butter Topping
Directions
Follow these steps to create your homemade Blackberry Cobbler:
1. Preparing the fruit
In a large bowl, mix the blackberries with 3 tablespoons of sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, and nutmeg. Stir gently to evenly coat the fruit. Once mixed, transfer the fruit into a buttered 9×13” baking dish. Distribute the small pieces of butter across the fruit.
2. Creating the Crumb Topping
In the bowl of a food processor, combine 2 cups of flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and Crisco. Add the ice water and pulse until the mixture reaches a crumb-like texture. Sprinkle this dough evenly over the fruit.
3. Adding the Brown Butter Touch
Melt the remaining ¼ cup of butter until it turns a nutty brown color. Drizzle this brown butter over the crumb topping, ensuring you incorporate all the little brown “crumbs” from the pan—they’re the flavor-packed bits!
4. Final Touches and Baking
For a final touch of sweetness, sprinkle the cobbler with 2 tablespoons of crunchy turbinado sugar. Bake the cobbler at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes, until the pastry topping is golden brown and crispy and the fruit is bubbling.
