1 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
3/4 cup milk
Instructions:
Berry Prep:
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the blackberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and zest. Let them mingle while you prepare the topping.

Grease a baking dish and pour in the blackberry mixture.
Drizzle the brown butter batter evenly over the berries.
Bake to Perfection:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the cobbler for 35-40 minutes until you see a golden crust and bubbling berries.
Rest & Relish:
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly.
Serve it warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and let the flavors transport you!
Variations:
