Ingredients

Berry Mixture

  • 2 1/2 cups frozen dewberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted

Other

  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature before baking.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking and to ensure easy serving.
  3. Cook Berries: In a large stockpot over medium heat, combine the frozen dewberries and sugar. Heat them gently until the berries start to release their juices and become syrupy, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. This intensifies the berry flavor and partially cooks the fruit.
  4. Make Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Then stir in the whole milk and melted butter until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  5. Assemble Cobbler: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out gently. Then spoon the warm dewberry mixture evenly over the top of the batter; the berries will naturally sink as it bakes, creating a delicious layered effect.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the batter is set and the berry filling is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or Bavarian cream for an extra indulgent touch.

Notes

  • Using frozen dewberries allows this recipe to be enjoyed year-round.
  • If fresh dewberries are available, they can be used instead; reduce cooking time for berries slightly if fresh.
  • Feel free to substitute whole milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free variation, but adjust butter accordingly.
  • Make sure the melted butter is not too hot when added to the batter to avoid cooking the eggs if present in other variations.
  • Serve cobbler warm for the best texture and flavor.
