This traditional berry cobbler is very easy to make and tastes delicious-the batter goes in the pan first then the strawberry and blackberry mixture pours over top and bakes up into a sweet, delicate cobbler that is always a hit when entertaining!
Homemade Berry Cobbler from Scratch
Normally when I make a cobbler I take shortcuts-I’m not going to lie. I’ll use baking mixes and throw some fruit in a dish, pour batter on top and bake. Easy right?
Earlier this week I came across this traditional cobbler recipe online and I was so intrigued by her from scratch, old school approach (especially pouring the batter first then topping with the fruit) that I wanted to experiment with it.
I took her recipe (which was lovely by the way!) and tweaked it a little to create this Blackberry & Strawberry Cobbler and I very much doubt that I’ll go back to my old shortcut ways again.
Why this is the Best Berry Cobbler Recipe
I love the sweet berry combination and the high ratio of berries to batter in this cobbler. The dough bakes up golden with delicious bits of caramelized sugar on top. It’s a winner-especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

This is almost identical to my family’s cobbler recipe. The one thing we do differently is melt the butter in the preheating oven, pour the batter over the melted butter, top with fruit, then bake. Melting the butter in the baking dish makes for a wonderful “crust” around the edges and eliminates the need for greasing the pan!

This was delicious! I used marion berries, similar to blackberries, and mixed them with the strawberries. Great combination! I’ll be making this again! Thanks for the recipe.
