BERRY FILLING:
In saucepan, heat 1 QT ripe berries, 1 Cup water, I cup sugar, 2 T butter or margarine. Then add 2 T flour to thicken. Simmer on low heat, until desired thickness. Do not scorch.
SELF CRUSTING COBBLER:
Sift together in large mixing bowl, 1 C flour and 2 tsp. baking powder. Add 3/4 Cup sugar, 3/4 Cup milk. Mix well and pour into 9×13 baking dish that has 2 T butter or margarine melted in it. Pour Berry Filling gently over the entire surface, DO NOT STIR.
Bake at 350 degrees for about half an hour, until crust on top is golden brown.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping and garnish with fresh berries. This is a delicious spring dessert that does justice to these wonderfully tart berries. Enjoy!

Mmmmm that looks good…..too good. Get thee behind me, cobbler.
Oh, wait, it’s already “behind” me…that’s my problem!
;- )
LOL, Trish! Me, too!
Looks so good! Thanks for the recipe!
Our recipes are very similar. I’ll have to give yours a try for comparison. Just need the dewberries. They aren’t yet ripe here .
self crusting????!!!!!! oh what a wonderful idea.
Ok, now I have some serious issues waiting on the berries to come in. Me thinks I shall try your recipe with some frozen variety of berries…it looks too good to wait…Thanks hon for this recipe…definitely looks like a keeper!

Hello!!!!!….I just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful recipe!!!!…..I have hunted for this recipe, for so long; this is just how my grandmother used to make her cobblers, and I just wanted to thank you SO very much….My children and husband absolutely loved this, and we have dewberries everywhere(I”m in South Mississippi)……Thank you again for such a delicious recipe!!!!…..
With Love,
Garlene
Yea! Wonderful! Yippee!! I am so happy you found the recipe, used it, and love it! It is just so absolutely simple, and very very yummy, isn’t it? Our dewberry season is short-lived here. I wish we had more. Mmmmmmmm.
I misidentified the wild berries growing in my backyard as blackberries. Now I know they’re dewberries and I got a buttload of them.
I’m going to try your cobbler recipe tonight! I’m from Houston so I’m not a Bayou Woman but I am a Bayou City Woman!
Fantastic, EWBL! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you love the recipe!
I will be 11 yrs. old next week. I am hoping I will have more than just a cup & 1/2 of dewberries by then. I plan to make your dewberry recipie for my birthday. Our mouths are just-a-watering, and waiting to taste it. Yours looks scrumptious. I will have to let you know how much our family enjoyed it.
Your new found friend, Mallory

Hello new found friend, Mallory! And welcome to this blog. How did you find us? Let me guess–looking for a recipe? Well, my 23-year-old son tried this recipe yesterday on his tugboat, and he said it turned out great! There is one catch, if 30 minutes baking time isn’t enough, let it bake until the crust is golden brown, ok? Even if it’s closer to an hour. That’s what he had to do because his baking dish was smaller than mine, and the crust was thicker, so it took longer to cook. Good luck! And please let us know if your family enjoyed it. Are you homeschooled?
I have this very same recipe, except mine was originally used for peaches. I got rave reviews with the peaches so last night I tried it with the berries we had picked. Same thing, everyone loved it. Just thought I would let you know
Fantastic! Thanks for letting us know this old recipe continues to be “tried and true”!
Mississippi husband says these sweet small berries we’re picking are blackberries NOT dewberries because they’re on 2 and 3 ft stalks and dew berries are on lower plants. Vegetable stand lady says they are dewberries and blackberries won’t be in for another month.
Well, down here in “coastal Louisiana” things happen earlier; and our first berries are dewberries. I agree with your fruit lady. There are other ways to tell, like number of leaves and what the flowers look like. Please read the post right before this one, where we discuss the differences. It doesn’t really matter what we call them, just as long as we pick them and make COBBLER!!!!!
So…how DO you tell whether they’re dewberries or blackberries. It’s mid-July in Missouri and these big plump reeeally tasty berries are just coming on, and I’m trying to figure out which they are! Thanks for posting the recipe…it is very similar to one my mom made when I was a kid!
I enjoyed the recipe very much. I didn’t see where I could print the recipe without the pictures. I think that would be very convenient to have it display as just text.
Thanks
Yes, text only would be convenient. The more up and coming blogs have a recipe software they use, but I’m just not that sophisticated yet. Sorry about that. I guess I’ll go to the trouble to do a “text only” version next time, too. Thanks for coming back and letting me know how you liked it, T!!! Come back soon! Do you have figs where you are? That’s what we’re all doing now—fig preserves.
Scratch that request for the Cobbler recipe. I found it. I just had to keep searching the site. Thanks again.
I’m so glad you’re here! The easiest way to find a recipe on this site if the “search box” in the right column isn’t successful, just pick the Bayou Woman Cooks category, and the posts will show up in chronological order, most recent first. Sorry, but you’ll have to keep clicking “next” until you get to the one you are looking for. Good luck with the strawberry fig! I hope you like it!
Love the Dewberry Blackberry Cobbler recipe –
May I use it on my personal website and credit you?

Just discovered your website – looking forward to reading more –
Blessings on your recovery from the durricane damage
I’ve never cooked the berries ahead of time, just sprinkled them over the batter, poured on boiling water and sprinkled with sugar. We all have our own recipes, don’t we?
I just moved to southeast Texas and this is my first dewberry season. I am excited to make this cobbler. I’ve been dreaming of just such a treat since my friend pointed out all the wild berry bushes. Yay! Any other good dewberry ideas?
Jill, I think I’ll post a different dewberry desert this year, as soon as I get some berries! Good luck with your cobbler and it is so so very good! Remember the vanilla ice cream or whipped cream or Cool whip at the very least!!!
Made the cobbler last weekend for friends and family in town from New Orleans/and New York City…the taste absolutely sent everyone back to their youths!! I remember picking paper bags full behind my school in Shreveport…that brown bag would be stained purple by the end of the hunt….
No sadly, I buy my berries at Sam Club..but the cobbler at least still taste as good as ever!
thanks
How wonderful! Isn’t it great how food can do that? Thanks so much for coming back and sharing this with us, Susanna!
