Ingredients
FOR THE FILLING, TOSS:
FOR THE CRUST, COMBINE:
CREAM:
Tapioca thickens the blackberry juices so the cobbler isn’t thin. For a filling with silky consistency, buzz tapioca in a coffee grinder before adding.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°.
For the filling, toss together berries, sugar, tapioca, tsp. salt, and orange juice in a bowl. Transfer berry mixture to a 2½-qt. rectangular or oval baking dish (about 2-inches deep).
For the crust, combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Cream butter and sugar in a bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3–5 minutes.
Add eggs, vanilla, and zest; beat on medium speed until combined, then beat in flour mixture until a moist dough forms. Spoon dough over berries.
Bake cobbler until juices are thick and bubbly and topping is golden brown, about 1¼ hours. Cool cobbler on a rack at least 1 hour. Serve cobbler with ice cream.
Gently stir the filling together to evenly distribute the tapioca without damaging the berries.
Spoon and gently spread the dough over the berries. It will be thin in spots, but it spreads as it bakes.
