Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the blackberry filling and Bisquick topping separately and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. Assemble and bake just before serving to enjoy a fresh, warm dessert.

Can I use other berries instead of blackberries?

Absolutely. This recipe works well with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or a mix of berries. The key is to maintain the same ratio of fruit to thickener for optimal texture.

How do I store leftover cobbler?

Allow the cobbler to cool completely, then cover it with an airtight lid or plastic wrap. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Reheat at 350°F until warmed through.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups blackberries, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water (if using fresh berries). Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until thickened and bubbly.
In a separate bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups Bisquick, 3 tablespoons grated butter, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup milk until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
Pour the blackberry mixture into a baking dish or cast iron skillet and spread evenly.
Drop spoonfuls of the Bisquick dough on top of the berries using a cookie scoop or large spoon, slightly pressing into the filling.
Bake for 25 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Optional: brush melted butter on the biscuit tops.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or cream cheese.

Notes

Freeze butter for easier grating.
Do not overmix the Bisquick topping to maintain tenderness.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
Use gluten-free baking mix for a gluten-free version.
Substitute brown sugar for white sugar for deeper flavor.
