Ingredients

- Sugar
- Self Rising Flour- it contains a leavening agent that helps make baked goods rise. It’s often used to make biscuits and other fluffy baked goods.
- Whole Milk
- Butter
- Blackberries– fresh or frozen
- Vanilla Ice Cream– for serving, optional
HOMEMADE SELF RISING FLOUR
- 1 + 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each cup of flour.

How to Make The Pioneer Woman’s Blackberry Cobbler
- Combine the 1 cup sugar and 1 cup self-rising flour. Add 1 cup whole milk and 1/2 stick melted butter.
- Add to a (9 x 9) casserole dish and top with 2 cups blackberries.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar on top and bake at 350° F for 50 minutes.
- Add 2 Tablespoons sugar and bake for 10 more minutes.
- Serve with vanilla ice scream and serve.

Using Frozen Berries
- The consistency will be off if you let the berries thaw, as they will become mushy. Frozen berries work well in this recipe as well.
Alternative Berry Options
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- Peaches
or use a combination of several!

How to Store Leftover Cobbler
- Baked Cobbler can be kept covered for up to 3 days at room temperature or for up to 7 days in the fridge.
Freezing Leftover Cobbler
- Due to the leavening agent in the flour, freezing this Cobbler is best done after it has been baked.
- To reheat, defrost it over night and heat it completely in a covered oven-safe dish at 350 degrees. How much you’re heating will determine how long it takes.
- Reheating can also be done in a microwave.
