📖 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. This prevents sticking and ensures even baking!
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until thoroughly combined. It's important to get rid of any lumps.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Make sure the butter is completely melted for a smooth batter.
4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined – don’t overmix! Overmixing can make your cobbler tough.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Then, gently fold in 4 cups of your favorite berries. Be gentle to avoid squishing them too much.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The topping should be golden brown and the filling bubbly and delicious.
7. Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. This allows the filling to thicken up a bit and makes it easier to cut and serve.
8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy your amazing, homemade berry cobbler! You deserve it! :)
