My Mom’s Blackberry Cobbler for the Start of Advent

My Mom made this for us growing up, always always served it with vanilla ice cream on top, and reminded me this week when I asked for the recipe to do the same. That simple cobbler, hot and fresh out of the oven with ice cream melting into it, transformed a weeknight dinner at home into something special.
We made that absolutely delicious treat again this Sunday while celebrating Advent. A shared warm blackberry cobbler with melting vanilla ice cream for the start of the joyous season of waiting, preparation and hope.
Isaiah 9:2
The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
a light has dawned.

Blackberry Cobbler
{serves about 4}

1 C flour
1 C raw sugar
1 egg
1 TBS baking powder
pinch of salt
1/4 C butter, melted
1 package frozen or fresh blackberries, or mixed

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Lay the berries {I used frozen blackberries and fresh raspberries} on a 9×13 pan or similar; mix the dry ingredients together and then mix in the egg. Cover the berries with the mixture and then drizzle on the melted butter.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

      Thank you, Hilary! Merry Christmas in Romania. I got to spend Christmas there a couple years ago with my Romanian roommate and her family… will never, ever forget it! Was one of the best Christmases I've ever had. It's a fascinating country.
      Much love! Amanda

    It's so beautiful how something so simple like a dessert can be passed down through generations and teach us about love and warmth 🙂 Happy Holidays!
