Lazy Lady Cobbler
A quick and easy fruit cobbler featuring a biscuit-like batter that bakes into a golden, fluffy topping with warm berries, perfect for casual gatherings or family desserts.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour the batter into a greased glass baking dish, then spoon on the fruit mixture evenly over the batter.
- Place small pats of butter over the top of the fruit and batter mixture.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve warm with heavy cream or ice cream on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, make sure to use fresh or frozen blackberries; if using frozen, there's no need to thaw them first. You can substitute the blackberries with peaches or apples for a different flavor profile. If you're out of milk, almond milk works well too. A sprinkle of cinnamon can enhance the flavor, bringing a warm touch to this dessert.
Serving Suggestions
This Lazy Lady Cobbler is best served warm, topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream. It pairs beautifully with a side of Ribbon Salad (Nice For Christmas) to balance the sweetness. Enjoy it as a delightful dessert after a hearty meal or as a sweet treat during a casual gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat the entire dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits besides blackberries?
Absolutely! This recipe is very versatile. You can easily substitute blackberries with other fruits like peaches, raspberries, or even a mix of berries. Just be mindful of the sweetness of the fruit you choose, adjusting the sugar if necessary.
Is it possible to make this cobbler gluten-free?
Yes, you can make this cobbler gluten-free by using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of regular flour. Be sure to check that your baking soda is also gluten-free, which most brands are.
How can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
To make this cobbler ahead of time, prepare the batter and assemble it with the fruit in the baking dish, but do not bake it. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake it straight from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
