One of my favorite things in this world is blackberry cobbler. I love it! I can eat it anytime, anyplace, anywhere. I used to make this when I lived on the farm with fresh blackberries right out of the patch and I would get up in the night to have more of it! I could not leave it alone then and I still can’t today. I make mine a little different from most people, too.
Spray a cookie sheet or flat pan with cooking spray and add pieces. Cook in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes until brown. 
You will probably make about 3 pans of these pieces of cooked pastry to total 12 to 15 pieces depending on the size you make them. Once you have cooked all the pastry pieces start layering them in a serving bowl ladeling the berries over the dough. 
Once you have finished put the cobbler in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. The pastry will soak up all the juices from the berries. Serve with a big scoup of ice cream and this can’t be beat for a dessert. 
Enjoy!

I froze fresh peaches a few weeks ago. Could I do the same with peaches – making a peach cobbler. (remember I am not known for my cooking!!!)
Also I am looking for a breakfast casserole. I’ll keep scrolling through your site. Hopefully I’ll find one.
A simple breakfast quiche…I use a round stone baker, line with Crescent rolls, make a crust all the way around the edges and bottom. Brown one pound of sausage, mix with 8 eggs, 8 ozs of shredded cheese. Pour in the bakers round and bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. Delicious.
The butterscotch apple cake sounds delicious ! We have a glut of apples so will have a go ! thank you !
It is just as good as it sounds!! Made it and loved it…just couldn’t eat as much as I wanted to (am diabetic).
Do you have any recipes for plums? I have just picked beautiful red plums from south Ga. I plan to make jelly, but wondered if you had any other ideas!
Made this today with fresh raspberries..delicious!
YUM, Sharon. I bet it would be good with rasberries. We love any kind of cobbler. Thanks for posting.
My mom grew up on a farm here in central Ky and made cobblers like this. She also made a cobbler that was like dumplings with blackberry juice. Would you by any chance have a recipe for that?
Hi Betty, Thank you for your comment and hope you will come by often. I may have a recipe like you are talking about. I will look for it and if I find it, I will post it on the blog. Have a great week.
Betty my Mom made something similar to that too & I’ve been looking for the recipe for years. It had dumplings in it & a crispy crust on top. I long for those tender berry soaked dumplings.
Betty, On the Food Network, Paula Deen has a recipe for Dumplings cooked in a raspberry or blueberry sauce. No crust on top, tho.
[...] Southern Lady! If you haven’t seen her blog, go check it out. If you have, well go back. Her deep dish blackberry cobbler alone is worth the visit. She might even serve up a mint [...]
Judy, had 3 of my grandkids for supper last night and made spaghetti and your blackberry cobbler. To say they were a hit is an understatement for sure! NO spaghetti left (maybe a half cup of sauce) and only about 3 or 4 spoons of the cobbler. Had some good vanilla ice cream for it nd they wolfed it all down like it was their last meal. This is one fantastic recipe and for sure will use if often. Thanks!
Hi Margaret! So glad your family enjoyed the meal and the recipes. Thank you so much for letting me know it went over so well.
Hi Judy. This blackberry cobbler looks yummy! I love blackberries!
I made this the very first time I saw the recipe on The Southern Lady. I must say it was wonderful. I also used the blackberry mixture over just ice cream and I also used over a vanilla pound cake. I love it.
Been looking for something like your recipe for years…..my Grandmother made a cobbler like this, but no one remembers her recipe. This may be it! Thanks!
Hmmmmm….sounds quite different and surprising for some who have not seen this before, like me! I thought as I was copying the recipe, about cooking the dough on my electric griddle; then I decided I’d probably like the texture of the dough better baked in the oven. We’ll see. I’m sitting here adding this recipe to my collection and I’m still drooling over the Peach Cobbler! Get a grip, girl, the calorie meter just blew a fuse!
Do you have a blackberry on using just the thickened juice.
I don’t have one just using juice, Ruby.
This sounds like my grandmother’s cobbler. No one remembers ever seeing how she made it, but the results look similar. Thanks……will try.
Have you ever made the dough part more like a dumpling? How would you do that?
Thanks!
I have not made it like dumplings.
Only the juice of blackberry cobbler.
The way I make it is a regular crust in a deep pie dish. Cook berries and water way down, then keep mashing the juice out until it is all out. Then cook the juice, sugar, and some lemon down. Takes a lot of time. I add a slurry of cornstarch sometimes. Does not get real thick. Put another crust on top and it is soooo good. Needs to be eaten warm. Doesn’t hold up too good later. Would love an easier way if someone knows how.
My Mother made a dish close to this, growing up in Southeastern KY we called it “pie” I didn’t know what pie with a crust was when I saw it, because Mommy always made hers this way. Black berry, raspberry and my favorite rhubarb. The difference was she made a biscuit type dough and flattened it out real thin with the back of her hand, they were kinda oval and when they were done and browned she stacked them like yours in deep a bowl and pored the berries or rhubarb with the liquid over them and after it soaked in it was heaven. I don’t remember if she would put sugar in the dough or just sprinkle a little on top of the biscuits but I know they were very tasty if you were able to snag one.
thank you for sharing this it sure brings back memories form long ago.
