Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, add blackberries, orange juice, and sugar, and stir to combine, then pour into a 9-inch square or round baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Working in batches, add ⅓ of the flour mixture at a time, beating well after each addition.
Drop rounded tablespoons of batter over the blackberry mixture (I like to use the OXO small scoop, a #70 portion scoop, heaped).
Bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly, about 35 to 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve with ice cream if desired.

Notes

Blackberries: Any combination of blackberries, blueberries, or cherries taste delicious in this cobbler. If you substitute strawberries, though, omit the orange juice.
Butter: To soften butter in the microwave, cut each stick of butter in half, unwrap, and place on a microwave-safe plate. Then cook the butter at 10% power for 1 minute. Gently press on the butter with your finger, and if it still feels too firm, cook for another 40 seconds at 10% power.
Vanilla ice cream: Store-bought or homemade; either is a treat. Whipped cream would also be dreamy.
Yield: This recipe makes about 6 cups of cobbler, enough for 6 (1-cup) servings.
Storage: Leftover cobbler is safe covered at room temperature the same day you bake it. Beyond that, store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 more days. Reheat if desired before serving.
