A quick and easy mulberry cobbler featuring a buttery, flaky crust and juicy, sweet-tart mulberries. Perfect for summer desserts and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups mulberries (fresh or frozen; if frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for crust)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for tossing berries)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2% recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, gently toss 4 cups of mulberries with 2 tablespoons of flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Set aside for 15 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1/2 cup cold, cubed unsalted butter.
  3. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter remaining.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing; it should be slightly sticky but hold form.
  5. Pour the mulberry filling into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of the crust dough over the berries, leaving gaps for steam to escape.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  8. Let the cobbler cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep butter cold to ensure a flaky crust. If crust browns too fast, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and vegan butter substitutes. Avoid overworking dough to keep crust tender.
