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 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.
