I’m not much of a baker. I say it all the time. But this recipe is amazing and requires absolutely no baking skills.
Let’s go over some really easy FAQ.
Ingredients
See recipe card at the bottom of post for quantities and full instructions
- Sugar
- Self Rising Flour- it contains a leavening agent that helps make baked goods rise. It’s often used to make biscuits and other fluffy baked goods.
- Whole Milk
- Butter
- Blackberries– fresh or frozen
- Vanilla Ice Cream– for serving, optional
Homemade Self Rising Flour
- 1 + 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each cup of flour.
How to Make The Pioneer Woman’s Blackberry Cobbler
- Combine the 1 cup sugar and 1 cup self-rising flour. Add 1 cup whole milk and 1/2 stick melted butter.
- Add to a (9 x 9) casserole dish and top with 2 cups blackberries.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar on top and bake at 350° F for 50 minutes.
- Add 2 Tablespoons sugar and bake for 10 more minutes.
- Serve with vanilla ice scream and serve.
Using Frozen Berries
- Frozen berries work well in this recipe as well, be sure to add them when they’re frozen. If you let them thaw, they’ll be mushy and the consistency will be off.
Alternative Berry Options
- Raspberries
- Strawberries
- Blueberries- Or try my own Blueberry Cobbler recipe!
- Peaches- Or try my own Peach Cobbler recipe, it’s amazing!
or use a combination of several!
How to Store Leftover Cobbler
- Baked Cobbler can be covered and stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Freezing Leftover Cobbler
- This Cobbler can be frozen and it’s best if you do so after it’s been baked due to the leavening agent in the flour.
- To reheat, let it thaw overnight and bake it in a covered oven-safe dish at 350° until heated through. The amount of time will depend on how much you’re heating.
- You can also reheat in the microwave.
Best Pan Sizes For This Recipe
- A 9 x 9 inch pan works well for this recipe. If using a 9 x 13 pan, consider doubling the recipe for thicker results.
What to Serve with Blackberry Cobbler
…Just kidding. I just want to see if you’re paying attention. The obvious answer is vanilla ice cream.
Should you choose to omit this very important addition, I will find you…ice cream in hand.

Can you use buttermilk in place of the milk in this recipe and if so how much?
Hi Kaylee, here is some information I found about making this substitution:
“If you are going to substitute buttermilk for milk in your recipes, you will need to change the amount of baking soda as well as the amount of baking powder. This is because of the higher acid content in buttermilk.
Baking soda reacts with acids such as yogurt, lemon juice, orange juice, or even chocolate, to create carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 that is released helps your bread or muffins rise. Baking powder already has some acid in the mix (usually cream of tartar) and reacts on its own.
Because of this, you will usually need less baking soda or baking powder when using buttermilk in your baked goods.
For each cup of buttermilk used instead of milk you will want to use 2 teaspoons less baking powder and add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.”
used frozen mixed berries and baked in my iron skillet. easy and excellent

Hi Stephanie
for the DIY self rising flour – do you add 1 + 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a 1cup measuring cup and top off the rest with flour to make it total 1 cup?
or 1 cup of flour and add 1 + 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt?
TIA!
Hey Sandrine! You will go the second route: 1 cup flour and from there, an additional 1 + 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Enjoy!
