- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for even cooking.
Prepare the Berry Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
- Add in the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gently stir until all the berries are coated.
- Transfer the mixed berries into a greased 9-inch square baking dish.
Make the Cobbler Topping
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well-blended.
- Pour in the milk and melted butter, then add the remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
Assemble the Cobbler
- Spoon dollops of the cobbler topping over the berry filling, leaving some filling peeking through for a rustic look.
Bake the Cobbler
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Cool and Serve
- Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
For the best flavor, use a mix of fresh berries. Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the berries you use. Avoid overmixing the topping for a lighter texture.
