How to Make English Blackberry Cobbler

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F/Gas Mark 2).
  2. In a large pie dish (approximately 20cm), combine 500g fresh blackberries, 100g granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp plain flour. Gently toss to coat.
  3. Cover the pie dish with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the blackberries have released their juices and softened.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare the scone topping. In a large bowl, sift together 225g self-raising flour and 50g granulated sugar.
  5. Cut in 50g cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  6. Beat 1 large egg with 2 tablespoons of milk. Gradually add to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a soft dough forms.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to approximately 1.5cm thickness.
  8. Using a 4cm cutter or knife, cut out squares of dough.
  9. Increase oven temperature to 220°C (425°F/Gas Mark 7).
  10. Remove the foil from the blackberry filling. Arrange the scone squares on top of the blackberries.
  11. Sprinkle the scones generously with an extra 10g of granulated sugar.
  12. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
