Made this a second time with the rest of the raspberries I had on hand, gently gave them a one time fold into the batter before adding to pan. Used 6 T of butter and left in for 40 minutes. Came out beautifully. Perhaps it’s because I’m so close to the ocean….can’t account for the odd first baking, nor the discrepancy in butter amount, but, it’s delicious, will be making it again, with blackberries! Thanks.

Made this cobbler last night. VERY good, incredibly easy to throw together, not too sweet and the blackberries give it a little kick. To me it really has more of the texture of a “bread pudding”, not a true cobbler – but either way – it’s a winner and my husband had 3 servings.

Made this tonight, using raspberries. Used an 8 x 8, as directed. There was far too much butter. I melted it in the stove, until bubbly, as directed and when I poured the batter in, I could tell there was too much butter. The batter sank to the bottom and the butter floated on top, though the edges did start to solidify, as stated.

I felt like the batter should go on top of the berries, but since this was my first time making this recipe, I wanted to follow exactly, so I added the berries last.

When I pulled the cobbler out, after 35 minutes, there were tablespoons of butter still floating on top, the cobbler had absorbed all it could. I tilted the dish and drained off about 4 tablespoons of melted butter.

We did give this a taste, and the buttermilk gives it a nice tang. I will try again, with half the butter.

Just want to clarify-the batter goes in *before* the berries? I thought the batter should go on top of the berries…
