Old-Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler

 Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into a 9×9-inch baking dish and set aside.

2. Make the Batter
   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk until smooth.
   Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter — do not stir.

3. Prepare the Berries
   In a separate bowl, toss blackberries with lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.

4. Assemble
   Spoon the berries evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir — the cobbler forms its own crust while baking.

5. Bake
   Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.

6. Cool & Serve
   Let cool slightly before serving.
