Memere's Blackberry Cobbler

 

 

 

 Ingredients:

Blackberry Filling:

1-quart blackberries

1 ½ cups of sugar

1 cup water

3 Tablespoons cornstarch

Batter:

2 cups all-purpose flour

4 Tablespoons sugar

3 t baking powder

½ t salt

4 Tablespoons butter, cold

1 cup milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place blackberries, sugar, water and cornstarch in a large saucepan and set over medium heat. Stir and cook the filling until it thickens, about 4 minutes. Pour into a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Set it aside.

To make batter, place the flour, sugar, baking power and salt in a mixing bowl. Use a pastry blender to cut butter into a dry mix until it resembles small peas. Stir in milk.

Scoop and drop batter onto hot filling. Bake until lightly browned, 25-30 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla or chocolate ice cream.
